"John Schlitt," lead singer of "Petra" and internationally-known recording artist, will be featured at (INSERT VENUE NAME) in (INSERT NAME OF CITY) on (INSERT DAY, DATE AND TIME) (and any other pertinent information for your area).

Petra was founded in 1972, and today is one of the world's best known and most successful Christian rock bands, with sales of over 7 million records. Schlitt, a native of Illinois, has been their lead vocalist since 1986. During his time with Petra, he has recorded 12 albums, earning four Grammy and numerous Dove awards, with many #1 and Top Ten hits on the Contemporary Christian Charts. His travels and performances with the group have reached all 50 states and 18 countries.

Prior to his time with Petra, Schlitt was lead singer for the rock band "Head East," a Midwest-based group which toured the United States in the 1970's and was best known for their classic hit "Never Been Any Reason".

Schlitt's concerts are a mixture of classic Petra tunes in rock, pop, and praise & worship style, such as "Beyond Belief," "No Doubt," and "We Need Jesus," plus hits off his solo albums, such as "Show Me the Way," "One by One" and "Inside of You."

"While I'm more involved with Petra now than I've ever been, I'm also involved in my own solo projects" says Schlitt. "As a Christian artist, I'm one of the most blessed people in the business, because I have an avenue to go out and do my thing in two different directions. This music is a form - it's a way to be heard. I see so much need out there; I've been given the opportunity to have a platform where people will listen."

In addition to his current work with Petra, Schlitt started performing solo in the mid-'90s. He has recorded one pop/rock album and has released another project that includes modern rock styles along with slower, acoustic-based melodies. He is currently working on a third project.

Inherent with Schlitt's music is a message: "Our God designed each one of us to be winners. We are special - every one of us - every human being that's made in the image of God - all of us - have a special plan that God has for us, that if we chose to follow it, we would win. We were built with that," says Schlitt.
