“Sounds of the Season – Gokey, Grant bringing Christmas joy to Zorn”

by Luc Anthony for VOLUME ONE

“One of Wisconsin’s prime musical exports of the past decade will be joining a fellow top name in Christian music on stage in Eau Claire as Milwaukee’s Danny Gokey teams with Natalie Grant on the “Celebrate Christmas Tour,” which stops at Zorn Arena on Saturday, Dec. 10.”

Luc had a chance to do a Q & A with Danny. They discussed

how Danny & Natalie came to tour together and the creation of the setlist for the Christmas Tour,
Danny’s familiarity with the Eau Claire area (his great grandfather farmed in the area),
The success of “Tell Your Heart to Beat Again”
The new album “Rise” and his favorite tracks

And this excerpt:

Reflect on 2015’s Christmas Is Here: What made you want to do the album? How has it been received over the past year?

Christmas is my very favorite time of the year,……..Fans had been asking me for one since I came off of American Idol. Making the album was actually a tough experience – I was touring a lot ……There were several times where my voice was just shot and my producer, Keith Thomas, would send me home ……. I was just not rested enough to sing. BUT,….we ended up making an album that I am really proud of! ….. Fans love it and have continued to buy it all year long, which was kinda fun to watch! AND this past October, I just won my first Dove Award for the album!
