Winter Jam Songs

My wife and I will be heading out this afternoon to see and hear some great Christian music performed at the Winter Jam Tour Spectacular. Here's a sample song of each artist we will be seeing tonight. Winter Jam is a non-ticketed event – you just show up, stand in line, and pay your $10 at the door, and you get to see 10 different artists, plus a speaker. Can't beat that! Enjoy these tunes, and maybe you'll want to hit the road and come out as well!  ~  JH
