Sarah Kelly Tours Sweden with New Generation Student Ministry

Highly acclaimed worship leader and recording artist Sarah Kelly is currently on tour in Sweden with the New Generation student ministry, and will play in the major cities of Gothenburg and Jonkoping on November 29th and 30th respectively, in Stockholm on December 2nd and finally Orebro on December 3rd. Kelly’s sophomore effort, tentatively titled When The Past Meets Today, is currently underway and will be released on Gotee March 21st.

As a part of the major city tour of Sweden with New Generation, Kelly will be performing as the main act in front of upwards of 4,000 people. New Generation is an organization that exists to create positive school environments and works with other organizations to take a stand against drugs, bullying, and racism. Founded in 1996 as a local group at Oslo University, New Generation now has expanded to include over 15,000 teenagers in Nordic countries, with additional gatherings in Germany, France, United Kingdom, Russia, Switzerland, and Hungary.

2005 has proved itself to be a year of high visibility for Kelly with her music being featured as part of Continental Airlines’ “In-Flight” radio station programming, as well as having music exclusives featured on Sony Connect. In addition, the national retail store Guitar Center added her image to the "World’s Largest Outdoor Photo Exhibit,” a gallery found on the outside of 140 Guitar Center stores all around the country.

Sarah Kelly unveiled her debut album Take Me Away in 2003, which merited her a GRAMMY nomination in the “Best Rock Gospel Album” category. Take Me Away grabbed the No. 12 spot on the “Top Christian Albums” Soundscan chart first week out by selling more than 4,100 units. This feat secured Kelly as the highest new artist debut in the 10-year history of Gotee Records. The single “Take Me Way” also landed a No. 6 spot on the CHR radio charts. With an average of 150-200 tour dates a year, Kelly has shared the stage with acts including the Paul Colman Trio, as well as being an opener on the Fall 2004 Jars of Clay tour.
