Hezekiah Walker, Shirley Caesar, Brian Courtney Wilson, Travis Green, and the Chicago Mass Choir were some of the headliners that performed at the 31st Chicago Gospel Music Festival.
Stellar and Dove awards winner, Brian Courtney Wilson, sang an extended rendition his song “Worth Fighting For”.
Shirley Caesar, the eleven-time Grammy winning gospel legend, performed her new song “It’s Alright, It’s OK”, and one of her older hit songs “I Remember Mama”. She encouraged members from the audience to come to the front of the stage to sing. It was one rememberable performance by the gospel legend.
The audience entered into praise and worship as Travis Green performed “Made A Way” and “Intentional”. He told his powerful testimony of how he almost lost his life when he fell four stories from a building, but God saved him. He jumped off the stage and handed the mic to audience members to sing. It was an amazing performance by the artist.
