Bringing faith, football and gospel music together, the 15th Annual NFL Sanctioned Super Bowl Gospel Celebration will be in New York City, kicking-off Super Bowl XLVIII weekend on Friday, January 31, 2014 at the Theater at Madison Square Garden. Sponsored by American Family Insurance, this year’s concert will align GRAMMY® Award-winning artists, church and faith leaders and special guests — all on one stage to give audiences a show to remember.
Announced as the headliner of this milestone concert, taking the stage will be legendary entertainer and GRAMMY® Award-winner Patti Labelle. Also joining the list of top performers at this year’s show include gospel sensation Mary Mary, Christian contemporary singer Natalie Grant and actress & singer Tamela Mann. Previously announced performers include GRAMMY® Award-winning Gospel artist and Pastor of Perfecting Faith Church in New York, Donnie McClurkin, and the NFL Player’s Choir, which is exclusively composed of current and former players.
“This year we celebrate the 15th Anniversary of bringing even more power and celebration to one of the biggest events of the year – the Super Bowl,†says Melanie Few-Harrison, Creator and Executive Producer of Super Bowl Gospel Celebration. “Each year we aim to make the concert bigger than the last with artists and special guests from all backgrounds and this year will be no different! Super Bowl XLVIII in New York will be our biggest yet!”
Since its inception in 1999, the Super Bowl Gospel Celebration has donated a portion of its proceeds and more than 5,500 tickets to local and national charities. This year’s benefactor is St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
