Chris Tomlin Performs on Close Up Stage during CMA Fest 2022 as “Artist of The Day”
Grammy-Award winning artist Chris Tomlin joined CMA Fest in Nashville on Sunday morning as the final “CMA Artist of The Day” slot. Tomlin was the first-ever Christian genre artist asked to be a part of the CMA Close Up Stage line-up, coming alongside the other featured Artists of The Day, Kelsea Ballerini, Luke Bryan and Russell Dickerson. Tomlin held an hour-long set at Music City Center, where festival goers were able to hear stories behind some of his biggest songs, learn about his journey into music, and together filled the space with worship.
“To start the day with an hour of worship music at CMA Fest is a moment I will never forget,” shared Chris. “God has continued to do things I would have never imagined… and I am so excited to see how He uses these new songs of worship, releasing on 9/9… My prayer for these songs is that people are reminded Jesus is the same yesterday, now, and always.”
