Bourbonnais, IL (11/06/2018) — Shine.FM, a broadcast ministry of Olivet Nazarene University, announces the upcoming appearance of Sidewalk Prophets at Centennial Chapel in Bourbonnais, Illinois. Performing on stage with the band will be students from the horns and strings sections in Olivet's School of Music.

This Dove Award-winning band will bring the "Great Big Family Christmas Tour" to Olivet's campus on Dec. 15, 2018. The Olivet student musicians will appear with the band at every date on the tour during December.

"Olivet is excited to partner with the Sidewalk Prophets for this Christmas season tour," says Dr. Don Reddick, dean of the School of Music. "We consider this musical partnership as an opportunity to help proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ."

Each evening on the tour promises to be joyful and interactive with holiday fun. There will also be an offering collected to benefit a local community in need. The audience will hear holiday classics along with Sidewalk Prophets originals from their 2013 release, Merry Christmas To You, such as their No. 1 hit, "What A Glorious Night," and the top 5 hit, "Hey Moon."

"There is nothing more special than creating Christmas memories with the ones you love," says Dave Frey, lead vocalist for Sidewalk Prophets. "That is the driving force behind this tour."
