Chris Sligh participates in Idol Camp, gearing up for fall tour and a 700 Club appearance

Chris Sligh’s first stop before launching his headlining Back to School Tour will be “Idol Camp” in Southern California. Idol Camp was created for kids who want to be singer/songwriters, and enslists former “Idols” to participate in teaching music classes, hosting open mic sessions, showcases, and other extra-curricular activities including arts and crafts, motor sports, paintball, soccer, archery, swimming and more.

With a desire to work directly with his friends at Christian radio, Sligh took it upon himself to reach out to stations across the country to partner with him on his Back to School Tour. Hitting about 30 cities, sponsor stations will share in the expense and any spoils directly with Sligh, something rarely done in the music industry. In addition, he will perform live on The 700 Club on Tuesday, July 29. The tour kicks off August 15 in Austin, Texas and will hit Atlanta, Oklahoma City, Kansas City, Washington D.C. and more.
