'Music in the Rockies' to Equip Aspiring Christian Artists

The Gospel Music Association's Music in the Rockies will hold its 34th annual series from Aug. 3 to Aug. 9 in Estes Park, Colo., with over 30 renowned Christian artists to take the stage.

Music in the Rockies is a weeklong Christian art festival designed to allow Christian artists to experience unique opportunity to compete, attend concerts, and receive trainings.

American Idol finalist and Music in the Rockies alum Chris Sligh will be returning this summer as a performer and a judge and said during an interview with GMA, "Seriously, in today's culture you need all the tools you can get, whether you are an indie artist, a signed artist or someone who aspires to either of those."
