Sandra McCracken will be hitting the road with her "Light in the Canyon" tour starting April 10th. Performing alongside special guest Taylor Leonhardt and a fantastic band, McCracken will be diving into two decades of my music, including songs from her "Light in the Canyon" album, and her latest project, "Paper Horses."

McCracken writes, "This tour is more than concerts-it's about community. We'll share songs that have comforted and inspired us, from hymns to folk to bluegrass. It's a chance to connect, to sing together, and to celebrate the stories of these songs."

McCracken's songs have become a staple in churches internationally. Songs like "We Will Feast In The House Of Zion," "God's Highway," and "Thy Mercy My God" are theologically rich, singable anthems that have crossed barriers between denominations and generations. Alongside gospel songs and group singing, her alt-folk ballads like "Fool's Gold," "You Hold It All Together," and "Ten Thousand Angels" have been recorded by All Sons And Daughters, The Porters Gate, Audrey Assad, and featured in indie films and ABC's "Grey's Anatomy."

In 2012, McCracken partnered with Sally Lloyd Jones (author of The Jesus Storybook Bible), Ellie Holcomb and friends to produce the first of four collaborative children's albums as a side project called, Rain for Roots. She is also a founding member of Indelible Grace Music and has regularly promoted the joyful use and circulation of traditional hymns.

Beyond the melodies, McCracken is a regular columnist for Christianity Today's "Pending Resolution." She has also made contributions as a guest writer for The Gospel Coalition, She Reads Truth, Art House America, and Relevant Magazine.
