Christian
music icon Rebecca St. James
to dazzle Stanislaus County Fair audiences!
Turlock—Rebecca
St. James, the 25-year old Australian singing
sensation, is ready to lift her voice to God and all
her enthusiastic fans at the Stanislaus County
Fair!
St
James, a Grammy award winner and best-selling author,
will perform on the Budweiser Variety Free Stage on Monday,
July 28 at 8:30 p.m. All concerts on this stage
are included with the price of fair admission.
“We
are so excited to add Christian music to our
impressive line up,” said Pennie Rorex, spokesperson
for the Stanislaus County Fair. “Rebecca’s music
is in such demand.”
Rebecca
is best known for hits “Song of Love,” “Don’t
Worry,” and “Wait for Me.” The oldest of seven
kids, St. James is passionate about her message to
encourage people to see the beauty of worshipping God.
Her large family accompanies her on all 200 concerts
each year, each doing their part to sing, sell
merchandise or help with the lighting.
Rebecca
uses her name to help make a difference in causes she
believes in—the adoption of needy children and
ending hunger. St James has visited Romania where she
distributed food to the hungry and performed for free.
St.
James’ new album, “worshipGOD” was just released
and features the new hits “Breathe,” and “Let My
Words be Few.”
