Known for their soul-stirring performances and cross-cultural musical fusion, the choir announced that they will be embarking on their US tour, which will run November 1 to 19.
Their many stops include Boston, Atlanta, Washington and Nashville, however we won’t be surprised if the group adds more dates and venues to their tour.
Fans have been asking for them to visit parts like California, Arizona, Texas and even Australia.
“Please come to California … I’ve been following you for a long time and would love to see you in person,” wrote Phyllis Taylor Gulbransen.
“Will you come to Australia?” asked Natalie Chilvers.
Listen to “Celebrate”.
