Well here we are…30 shows into the “Join the Tribe Tour” and we’re just getting started…..

The transition from Peter to Michael has been as smooth as we could expect. Peter has been amazing as he has helped us make this monumental transition. Michael has taken on the “mantel” of the lead singer of the Newsboys, and feels the gravity of it. He feels that he has been divinely placed here at this time….as do we. The years of friendship between Michael and the band seem to take on greater weight. We truely believe that this is a Divinely appointed time for us all.

From the initial rehearsals we realized that this was something special. We recognized that our two decade friendship was not just “by chance”. Looking forward we all see that the Newsboys will be a way more “efficient” and “effective” ministry. There are two side to what we do….the live touring, and the studio. Typically for one side to prosper the other has to suffer. This is now, not the case. I see it as a two edged sword. The two now, can work in tandem….

It’s my belief that we’ll get better songs, more often than before. Peter can immerse himself into what is his “forte”…writting #1 hits, while we can do what we believe we are called to….ministering the Gospel. I am so excited about our future. I truely believe that the best is yet to come from the Newsboys…..So, as we finish out this tour, we thank you all for all your love and support…..Duncan.
