Casting Crowns is not only one of the top-selling Christian bands of all time, but they’re also one of the top touring bands–including mainstream bands–in the U.S., according to Pollstar magazine. Yet another example of how gospel acts are exploding across the country, the band has been playing sold out shows across the globe, recently headlining three concerts in Africa. This year, they received a Grammy for Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel album for their sophmore release, “Lifesong.” As if the band wasn’t busy enough, lead singer Mark Hall, who is also a full-time youth pastor, recently released the book “Lifestories,” which tells of the people and events that inspired Casting Crowns’ songs.
