|PIC1|Singer/songwriter and worship leader Graham Kendrick will be undertaking a 12-date tour of the UK and the Republic of Ireland this autumn, with the possibility of extending the tour later.

The Out of the Ordinary tour will feature songs from his latest album of the same name.

Produced by Julian Kindred (World Service), the album released last year features songs co-written by prolific artists such as Stu Garrard (Delirious?), Paul Baloche ("Open the Eyes of My Heart", "Above all"), Tre Sheppard and Dan Wheeler.

Kendrick has been releasing albums through Fierce! Distribution since his 2001 album "What Grace", which was the UK's number 1 best selling praise and worship album of the year, and 2003's "Do Something Beautiful".

Kendrick's most enduring accomplishment is his authorship of the words and music for the song "Shine, Jesus, Shine", which is among the most listened songs in contemporary Christian worship worldwide. His other songs have been primarily used by worshippers in Britain.

Kendrick is also a co-founder of March for Jesus, a prayer, praise and proclamation event that became global in 1994. Over 12 million people from 177 nations went out to the streets to proclaim their faith in Jesus Christ. He received a Dove Award in 1995 for his international work.
