Petra, one of the most important and influential Christian rock bands in history, reaches its 50th anniversary and announces a tour to celebrate.
Winners of 4 Grammys, 10 Doves Awards, and induction into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame, Petra has been the most successful and influential Christian rock band in the history since its formation in 1972.
Petra's members have been many for 5 decades, and although it has not been confirmed who the musicians will be for this tour, the band posted an image on their official facebook page showing Greg Bailey, Cristian Borneo, John Schlitt, John Lawry, and Bob Hartman, being the official members in recent events of the band. As expected, many fans have begun to ask if this tour will feature other musicians from the band such as Louie Weaver, Greg X Volz, Ronny Cates, or Mark Kelly.
Honestly, I think it would be epic and historic for it to be a tour with musicians from the different eras, they all meant an important moment and marked the lives of many people. Will the founders of Petra be there? Both Mark Kelly as well as Ronny Cates were iconic bass players at two important moments in the band's history, John and Greg are the two voices of Petra, neither better than the other, simply two important periods of the band that marked the history of Christian music.
Of course, it is a rather sentimental, nostalgic and fanatic appreciation, but being objective, it should not be easy to move so many musicians at the same time, the costs would be very high, and finally, would they be willing to join again as a band of different stages to celebrate such an important date?
Anyway, come and join the tour that will take place from October 6 to November 20.
