Anne Wilson VIP All STAR
Experience

Join GRAMMY-nominated singer-songwriter Anne Wilson for
the third leg of The STARS Tour, this Fall. Come sing along to new music from her recently released album STARS, alongside fan favorites like “God Story,” “Strong,” “Hey Girl,” and her multi-week No. 1 smash “My Jesus.” Live with support from Aodhan King, don’t miss a powerful night of music, worship, and a look at what’s to come.

About Anne Wilson:

Anne Wilson makes music where faith and country meet, a rare space where honesty, grief and hope live side by side. At just 23, she has already crossed the 2 billion streams milestone and emerged as one of the most distinctive new voices in both Christian and country music.

Her third studio album, Stars, captures a young artist growing up on record. Shaped by the tragic loss of her brother Jacob, Wilson’s faith could have been shattered — but instead it was strengthened. That tension, of wrestling with God yet still loving Jesus, defines her music and makes her profoundly relatable. “Faith isn’t about never questioning,” she says.“It’s about holding on in the middle of the storm.”

Stars threads together themes of grief, growth, maturity and wonder, carried by Wilson’s soaring vocals and country-pop production. From the wide-eyed imagery of the title track to the raw prayer of “Carry Me” and the redemption arc of “Dead in the Water,” the album reflects both the hardship of loss and the joy of new perspective.

Alongside the album, Wilson will deliver her new music to fans in person on The STARS Tour. She’s also released a 40-day Hey Girl devotional. Named after her encouraging anthem, the devotional is aimed at young readers, extending her message of identity and Christ-centered hope beyond the stage.

Anne Wilson is still becoming, still wrestling and still rejoicing – but Stars proves she’s shining brighter not in spite of the struggle, but because of it.
