|PIC1|Popular Christian artist Steven Curtis Chapman is partnering with iTickets to give fans a sneak-peek of new music from his album This Moment, which releases 23 October.

"We are excited about this opportunity to work with Steven and his upcoming tour," shares Ed Novak of iTickets and Christian Happenings. "Here we have a chance to get on board with this project at the concept level, providing our members on iTickets an opportunity to get a look at all the work and effort that goes into creating a tour."

Chapman will be hitting the road for his 50 city US "Live in This Moment" tour kicking off 20 September. The tour will feature rockers Sanctus Real and singer Bethany Dillon. Special guest band members include Chapman's sons Will Franklin (Drums) and Caleb (Guitar), who make a special appearance on This Moment and recently earned their keep and band roles with their dad during the recent Winter Jam tour.

This Moment marks the sixteenth studio album for Chapman on Sparrow Records and his first studio project in three years. The disc is a musically modern, poignant, personal studio release that captures the vital importance of embracing the "Miracle of the Moment."

Co-produced by Steven Curtis Chapman and Matt Bronleewe (TobyMac, Chris Tomlin, Leeland, Michael W Smith, Jars of Clay), This Moment was tracked in Los Angeles with a solid studio band whose combined credits include Sting, Paul McCartney and Sheryl Crow.
