Stellar-nominated contemporary worship choir Youthful Praise and its leader James JJ Hairston are about to hit the summer highway to promote their fifth CD, Resting On His Promise, recorded live in the group’s hometown of Bridgeport, Connecticut this past March. First stop is Newark on June 20. They will also be performing at GMWA, to be held in late July in Cincinnati.

Youthful Praise is known for its “phat” sound and palpable energy, and the title track and single from the forthcoming CD is a good example of their volume and vigor. Hairston and the group trade vocals in front of a charging beat and wall-of-sound musicianship. Good summer listening.
