David Crowder has spent the better part of two decades reshaping what contemporary Christian music can sound like. From his early days leading the David Crowder*Band through his current solo work, he’s never been content to stay in one lane — folding in electronic textures, bluegrass twang, and arena-sized hooks into songs of faith that feel genuinely inventive. His stop at Rochester’s Kodak Center on April 19 promises a night that transcends the typical worship concert.
Joining Crowder on this run are Seph Schlueter and Patrick Mayberry, two rising voices in the CCM world who bring their own energy and songwriting chops to the stage. Schlueter’s earworm melodies and Mayberry’s anthemic worship tracks make for a compelling undercard that should have the Kodak Center crowd on their feet well before the headliner takes the stage.
For the Finger Lakes faith community and beyond, this is a rare chance to experience one of Christian music’s most creative forces in an intimate theater setting rather than a festival field. Expect big production, bigger songs, and the kind of communal energy that Crowder shows are known for.
