INO Records' SONICFLOOd, ex-mafia boss Michael Franzese and opening band Building 429 will kick off the 25-city Fearless Planet Tour on March 6th in Southlake, Texas. This tour follows SONICFLOOd's lead singer Rick Heil's recent return from filming a video in India.
TOURING
The Fearless Planet Tour is built upon the theme "Walk In Courage, Live in Faith" and the verse "If God is for us. Who can be again us?" - Romans 8:31. Every show will have a specific focus, which is to convey to the audience how to live a fearless life inspite of the constant state of fear our planet has come to know through various tragedies and events, such as 9/11.
"Through this tour we want to challenge people to not live in fear by gripping their hearts with testimony and song that leads them to Christ," claims SONICFLOOd Frontman, Rick Heil.
Ex-mafia boss Michael Franzese will share his testimony of finding Christ and leaving the world of organized crime. According to the tour website, Franzese is "living proof that courage comes from the Lord. He lives everyday not knowing if the next time he turns the key to start the engine on his car, if he will actually hear the motor start."
