The Strong Tower Tour

Emerging pop-punk band Stellar Kart will open for Tooth & Nail/BEC Recordings rock act Kutless on the "Strong Tower Tour" next month. The tour, which coincides with Stellar Kart's debut album release, All Gas. No Brake, is scheduled to hit more than 20 major markets through mid-March. Kicking off in Minnesota on Feb. 15, the "Strong Tower Tour", named for Kutless' upcoming worship record, will additionally feature BarlowGirl. The top-notch lineup guarantees music to appease rock fans of all appetites. "The 'Strong Tower Tour' with Kutless, BarlowGirl and Stellar Kart is going to be a great run", says Mike Snider of Third Coast Artists Agency. "This is a youth-oriented package with a ministry focus that represents different demographics. It's perfect for the touring market, and all early indications point to strong response and sold-out shows."

The high-profile tour is timely for new Word/Curb/Warner Bros. signing Stellar Kart, whose first national project launches Feb. 15. Written and produced entirely by Stellar Kart, All Gas. No Brake is a high-energy, singable record that speaks to issues affecting teens today. The album's debut radio single, "Spending Time", is playing on both Christian Hit Radio and Christian Rock radio.

Adam Agee (vocals, guitar), Jordan Messer (drums), Cody Pellerin (guitar) and Tay Sitera (bass) grew up playing music. The four friends came together to form a worship band at Mt. Ridge Baptist in Glendale, Ariz., which quickly developed into their now full-time ministry. For the past two and half years, Stellar Kart has stayed busy performing close to 300 youth events, most of them on the West Coast. The foursome has toured alongside By the Tree, Jeremy Camp, Building 429 and Across the Sky, among others.
