Fernando Ortega Live In St. Paul DVD
Multiple Dove Award-winning vocalist and songwriter Fernando Ortega will release his second career concert video, titled Fernando Ortega Live in St. Paul, on Oct. 12 for Curb Records. The DVD project is produced by award-winning Jupiter Productions and will feature fifteen songs, including many cuts from Ortega’s critically-acclaimed self-titled album for Curb that released to rave reviews on August 10. The DVD will also contain other favorite songs from across Ortega’s fifteen-year career, as well as four bonus tracks and behind-the-scenes footage.
Filmed at Northwestern College's Maranatha Hall, Live will feature several of Ortega’s ten career #1 radio singles, including the #1 Inspirational Song of 2000, “This Good Day,” 1999’s #4 Inspo Song of the Year, “Creation Song,” and “Lord of Eternity,” as well as the bonus cuts “Light of Heaven” and “Sing to Jesus,” both from Ortega’s Dove Award-winning album Storm (2002). Among the project’s other songs are the Dove Award-winning “Children of the Living God;” Ortega’s most recent Top 10 CRR Hit, “Sleepless Night,” and his current single, “Take Heart My Friend.”
“Fernando Ortega is known and respected worldwide by fans, other musicians and industry leaders alike,” said John Butler, Curb Record’s senior director of promotions and marketing. “It's hard to find anyone who hasn't been touched, comforted and inspired in some way by his music and ministry. The craft and artistry on his new CD and DVD truly sets forth a new template for the modern singer-songwriter musician.”
