Victory Restoration Church presents The American Prodigal Tour featuring Crowder, special guest Jimi Cravity and Young Escape on Tuesday, November 14, 2017 at Bondurant Auditorium located within Preston Hall on the campus of Radford University. Three-time Grammy-nominated Christian artist Crowder will bring his American Prodigal Tour to Radford University. David Wallace Crowder known by his mononymous stage name Crowder since 2012, is an American Christian folktronica musician. Folktronica is a type of music that combines folk music and electronica. It often takes traditional acoustic instruments, such as banjos and guitars, and mixes in elements of dance rhythms or hip hop tracks. Over the past two decades, David Crowder has developed a reputation for lyrically powerful, musically intricate and eclectic songs that have been sung everywhere from churches to mainstream clubs. Since his 14-time Dove Award-winning and Grammy-nominated David Crowder Band broke up in 2012, the singer-songwriter has recorded two hit crossover albums and several hit singles as a solo artist. His 2014 debut album, “Neon Steeple,” debuted at #8 on the Billboard 200, hit #1 on the Christian & Gospel albums chart, and was named iTunes’ Christian Album of the Year. Crowder garnered multiple radio hits, including “I Am” and the Grammy-nominated “Come As You Are,” as well as a Grand Ole Opry debut and a Dove Award. His second album as a solo artist was released in the fall of 2016. "American Prodigal" debuted at No. 12 on the US Billboard 200 best-selling albums chart. "My Victory" was the first single off the album, reaching Top 10 territory on CHR.fm. "Run Devil Run" was released to Christian rock radio.

The siblings grew up watching bands like Audio Adrenaline, tobyMac, and Hawk Nelson at festivals, dreaming that one day, they could do the same thing. The band has always had a love for upbeat, exciting live concerts, which is why they try to craft high-energy sets that inspire people to get out of their comfort zone, and to break free from the currents of culture. Ranging from 20 to 14 years old, the young escape hopes that their EDM, Alt-Pop, Rock music inspires people to escape from whatever is holding them down, and to dream like they’re young again.
