After months of planning and hard work, the tour with John Schlitt and Adahl kicks off in Bielefeld, Germany on Friday, June 12, followed by two dates in Romania and three in Sweden!

John is flying to Frankfurt this week, and we will be updating you with news of the tour – complete with photos, videos and blogs!

So keep checking back on JohnWSchlitt.com for daily updates… let the tour begin!

Dupa cum ati vazut mai sus, primul show va fi vineri in Germania dupa care John va zbura spre Romania pentru doua evenimente in premiera de care cu siguranta ne vom aduce aminte cu placere. Va asteptam pe toti duminica seara la Hotel Sun Garden din Turda pentru primul show pe care-l va sustine John Schlitt in Romania. Luni seara la ora 19:00 va asteptam la un show exploziv Live & Rocking with a Full Band, dupa cum aparea si pe un poster de-a lui John.

In alta ordine de idei citind pe net despre John am gasit o postare care mi-a placut si pe care imi permit s-o citez in cele ce urmeaza:

John Schlitt – Rock Icon for the Rock of Ages

When I think of the greatest vocal talent in the history of rock, only two names come to mind: Sebastian Bach (from Skid Row) and John Schlitt (Petra). I could name many others of course, from Bono to Morrissey to Axl Rose, but for sheer range and screaming power, these two guys sit at the top of my list.

Schlitt, of course, is my favorite of the two. The man is a dynamo, on and off the stage. When he sings, it’s heavy metal at its finest. He can also render the most endearing of ballads, Prayer (from the 1990 album Beyond Belief) being the finest example.

But more than his enigmatic and formidable voice, the most compelling aspect of John Schlitt is his life. The guy is a heavy-duty Christian, a powerful living testimony of God’s redeeming love.

In the video below he describes how he started out as the lead singer of secular band Head East, became an alcoholic and junkie, and contemplated committing suicide after being fired from the band and hitting rock bottom. How God miraculously pulled him out of that mess and repurposed his life as a restored husband and father. And how eventually God would call on him to start singing again as frontman for the greatest Christian rock group in the world.

It’s awesome stuff.
