 Following the lead of Keith Green, Carman and church potlucks everywhere, new artist and former American Idol contestant Chris Sligh's upcoming tour concerts will allow listeners a chance to pay what they can for a night of Christian music.
- “The Stimulus Package” tour, kicking off in the fall with Aaron Shust, will open doors to listeners for a suggested donation of $10 but encourage them to give what they can. The artists won't have a guarantee but will take the financial risks themselves. Is it a sign of the times that tours like Slighs and NewSong's WinterJam tours (which also do a $10 at the door) offer flexible and/or optional pricing?
- As a retailer, insider or Christian music listener, what do you think? Will most attendees give the suggested $10 or less or more? Is it a return to the roots of Christian music or a clever marketing strategy?
