Christian artist Tauren Wells who’s the opening act for Lionel Richie and Mariah Carey’s “All the Hits Tour” has revealed that his goal is to “invade the tour” with God’s love.
Thousands attended the “All the Hits Tour” at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida, Friday night.
Tauren Wells graced the stage for a half hour set to perform songs off of his new Christian album.
The former Royal Tailor frontman who has garnered two Grammy nods unapologetically showcased his faith-based tunes in the massive arena.
After his set, Wells sat down with The Christian Post to discuss how it all came about and what he hopes to do as he continues to tour 22 markets across the U.S. and Canada with Richie and Carey.
He credited the opportunity to Jesus and his booking agent, John Huey.
“Nothing happens without Jesus, but John Huey is my booking agent over at the creative arts agency in Nashville.”
Upon hearing that Richie was going on the road and taking out an opening act, Huey pitched Wells along with 10 other artists to the music legend and Richie hand picked the young Christian artist himself.
“I’ve been able to meet Lionel and I’ve been able to meet Mariah and they’re very kind. Their bands are going back to them and saying, ‘Yo, this is legit.
What we’re trying to do is just invade the tour with love. They hear the songs and they connect it with the moment.
Who knows what seed can be planted there and then the Holy Spirit can do the rest.”
After the “All The Hits Tour,” Wells will join Skillet, Britt Nicole and others on the “Air1- Positive hits Tour.”
Afterwards, he plans to take some time off to be with his family since his wife is pregnant with their third son.
