Grammy-nominated recording artist and former Acappella member Wayburn Dean will sing in concert at the River of Life Church in Searcy Sat., Dec. 12 at 7:00 p.m.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Dean records Christian music albums, and six of his songs have been national radio hits. His “What Will Be Your Legacy” recently charted at #1 on Billboard’s Soft AC Inspo charts, Audience Ranks and #4 in actual spins. He also sang for several years as one of the four members of the multi-million-selling vocal group, “Acappella.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The concert will be comprised of Christmas songs and praise, according to Keith Tomlinson, one of the pastors of the River of Life Church.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Dean has toured to and performed in at least 10 states over the past 2 years and also in Canada and the Cayman Islands. One year ago, he performed at Covenant Fellowship Church in Searcy.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Dean and his wife Janae are founders of a non-profit organization called Afterword Music. They have donated thousands of CDs to missionaries and churches in Vietnam, India, Jamaica, Brazil, New Zealand and other countries.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“The event is open to the public, and we want everyone to come enjoy the evening,”he said.”We want this to be a blessing to the community.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
According to Tomlinson, Dean will sing a mixture of Christmas songs and his own songs. His CDs will be available for purchase at the concert, which is free of charge.For those who wish to make a donation, however, a love offering will be collected “to bless Wayburn Dean with,” said Tomlinson.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Tomlinson hopes that many people from the community as well as from the congregation will come and that there will be a full crowd.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
