The only person in history to be a
member of the Gospel Music Hall of Fame, the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame and
the Amateur Radio Hall of Fame is 5-time Grammy and 11-time Dove Award winner
Larnelle Harris. Harris will be in
concert on September 13, 2014 at the Palm Beach County Convention Center,
West Palm beach, Florida. Doors open at 12:30 and show starts at 2:00 PM.
Tickets are available at WWW.PBConventioncenter.com/ATENDEES
and are available for $20.00 which includes all taxes and Convention center
fees.
Harris’ latest recording, Larnelle Live in Nashville,
was released in both DVD and CD formats.
The recording features a live concert
performance from Harris along with guests Sandi Patty, Steve Green and Steve
Amerson. In addition to singing several of his hit songs, Harris also
performs new tunes on the audio and video projects, including a brand-new duet
from Harris and Patty. The duo’s previous two duets, “More than Wonderful” and
“I’ve Just Seen Jesus,” both won Grammy Awards. Among other highlights,
Harris is joined by Green and Amerson in a special “Three Tenors” performance
segment which the trio debuted last year at Carnegie Hall.
In addition to his Grammy and Dove Awards, including being
named Male Vocalist of the Year three times by the gospel music industry,
Harris has garnered nineteen #1 national radio singles and countless top 10
hits. Songs such as "How Excellent Is Thy Name," "I Miss My Time
With You," and his signature song, "Amen," are now considered
modern gospel classics.
From the White House to the 38th Parallel, Larnelle has
impacted audiences across the globe with his music. He was the
first gospel artist to perform inside the Kremlin after the fall of the Soviet
Union. He is one of a handful of celebrities to receive the Ad Council's
Silver Bell Award for Distinguished Public Service in recognition of his song
"Mighty Spirit" as the theme song for the longest-running Public
Service Announcement in television history.
In addition to his musical career, Harris has been an avid
amateur radio operator for over 20 years. He was featured in CQ Magazine,
the leading independent magazine of amateur radio enthusiasts. Harris is now a member of the First Class
Operator’s Club, an invitation-only group that is limited to 500 people
worldwide. Invitees must demonstrate the
ability to send and receive morse code at a minimum of 25 words per minute,
demonstrate regular activity on the amateur frequency bands, and show
impeccable levels of courtesy on the air.
Married to wife Cynthia (a.k.a. Mitzy) for over 40
years, Harris continues to tour worldwide, recently singing for a gathering
of the United Nations Ambassadors. In addition to his numerous solo dates,
Harris also travels with various tours including the Gaither Homecoming tour,
the God Of All Glory Tour, and the Sandi Patty and Friends tour, the latter of
which CCM Magazine recently reviewed and described Harris as having a
“larger-than-life stage presence with impeccable vocal prowess.” Harris
has appeared on several national TV shows and networks including Gaither
Homecoming; Life Today With James Robison; CNN; TNN; The 700 Club; Billy Graham
Crusades; Hour Of Power; and his holiday classic Larnelle Christmas Special, among others.
World-renowned for his majestic tenor voice, one reviewer
aptly declared: "Larnelle could sing the phone book and inspire you!" Tickets for the September 13th concert are
$20.00 in advance; $25.00 at the door.
