To sing is to pray twice: Unless gospel superstar Israel Houghton is at the microphone, then the prayer power (as well as the enjoyment factor) quadruples and then some. Over a career that has spanned 22 years, Houghton has worked on more than 50 albums as an artist or a producer, earning 19 awards – including five Grammy Awards – for his ceaseless work. One of today’s most popular Christian musicians, with a musical style that encompasses gospel, jazz, rock and reggae, Houghton has performed alongside the likes of Aretha Franklin, Alicia Keys and Michael W. Smith as well as members of Joel Osteen’s Lakewood Church, where he is worship leader. Experience the music and ministry of this extraordinarily gifted artist when he comes to perform at the Saban Theatre.
