Berglund Center is excited to announce the “Gospel Love Festival” featuring Pastor John P. Kee and New Life, with special guests COMMITTED, Minister Steve Henderson & the Roanoke Voices Choir, and Henry Brickey Music Ministry
In the late 1980’s, Pastor John P. Kee was crowned the Prince of Gospel, which is a title he laughs at because his given middle name is Prince. (“If they’d never given me the title, I would have always been my Grandmother’s John Prince”, he often says.) His music has been featured in film and on television, in commercial advertisements and even on Saturday Night Live. His music catalogue is said to be one of the largest in the world today by an individual Publisher/Writer. As a pastor, national recording artist, community activist, and movie producer/director, his career highlights have included winning 58 GMWA Excellence Awards, 25 Stellar Awards, 9 WALJO awards, 7 Grammy Awards Nominations, 6 Dove Awards, 2 Billboard Music Awards, 1 Soul Train Music Award, and many more.
Pastor Kee’s heart is centered around his family. Since its inception in 1995, Pastor Kee has been the full-time pastor of the New Life Fellowship Center. Through non-traditional outreach that transcends the four walled structure, the church’s unique approach to ministry has resulted in a rapidly growing, thriving congregation. Pastor Kee’s ability to personally relate to the urban lifestyle allows him to reach those who would not typically attend church and further are not welcomed by many assemblies. Where there has been a natural disaster, where unemployment has overwhelmed a city, or anywhere people are hurting, you’ll find Pastor Kee doing what he believes he was called to do- encouraging, inspiring, and seed planting.

Fresh off his massive sold out 52-city Boujee On A Budget Tour, comedian and social media sensation Matt Mathews is keeping the momentum going with 20 newly added shows set for 2025.
Produced by Live Nation, the new leg kicks off September 12 and include stops in Memphis, Charleston, Detroit, and more. Known for his relatability and situational humor, Matt’s stand-up draws from his life on a farm, his career as a boudoir photographer, relationships, and more.
In just a few years, Matt has skyrocketed online with his hilariously raw posts and viral stand-up clips, amassing over 11 million followers across Instagram and TikTok. His debut headlining tour, When That Thang Get Ta Thang’n, sold out 100 shows and moved 150,000 tickets nationwide.
Recently, Matt revealed a new side of himself with his debut country singles, “Joke’s on Me” and “What A War,” now streaming everywhere.

Adding to his growing list of achievements, Mathews’ comedy special When That Thang Get Ta’ Thangin is now available on YouTube and digital platforms. In it, he fearlessly tackles everything from life as a gay man in Alabama to farm life, relationships, and even taboo topics—further proving his range as a bold and authentic storyteller.

The Randy Travis: More Life Tour features the legendary country singer and his co-star in The Price, James Dupré. The Country Music Hall of Fame member’s long-time touring band, consisting of Steve Hinson, David Johnson, Lance Dary, Bill Cook, Joe Van Dyke and Herb Shucher along with longtime tour manager Jeff Davis will rejoin “Hoss,” as they affectionately call Travis, on the road for the first time since right before his stroke in 2013.
The show will consist of Dupré and the band performing all 16 of his iconic number ones including “On The Other Hand,” “Forever and Ever, Amen” and “Three Wooden Crosses.” Randy Travis will make a special appearance and very much be a part of the show. A limited number of VIP tickets are available that include a premium seat in the first two rows, a show specific autographed 11x17 poster, and a meet and greet with the country icon, himself.
“We are incredibly excited to be back on the road and give Randy’s fans a chance to hear his music live again, and who better to sing his many hits than James Dupré?” said Mary and Randy Travis. Travis recently released Forever and Ever, Amen: A Memoir of Music, Faith and Braving the Storms of Life which has outpaced projections and has been featured on TODAY, the 700 Club, People Magazine, Billboard and more. The book is available at most online retailers as well as Barnes and Noble, Cracker Barrel, Books-a-Million and more. Always wanting to please his fans, the long-time Grand Ole Opry star also dropped two never-before heard singles this summer, “One in a Row” and “Lead Me Home.”
