One of the biggest names in Christian music is making his way across Canada this October and making one of his stops Winnipeg.

Michael W. Smith is starting a Canadian tour shortly, with Manitoba artist Jon Neufeld opening. Smith hasn't been to Canada in a while and he is excited to return.

"We're excited to come back for sure," Smith said. "It's been at least three years since I've done the [Canadian] trek."

Smith is finishing up his brand new album, then getting directly on a plane and flying to Canada to start the tour. He says that fans will get to hear brand new music during the tour that's never been heard anywhere else.

He's also thrilled to be touring with Neufeld again, who he went through Europe with.

Smith's first album, The Michael W. Smith Project, was released back in 1983. 24 albums later (with one more on the way), he isn't ready to retire anytime soon.

"I still love it and I feel like it's what I'm called to do," Smith said. "I'm still hungry and I'm still passionate about it."
