Danny Gokey
Apr 25, 2011
19 Recordings/RCA Nashville artist Danny Gokey isn't slowing down anytime soon. Following up a busy 2010, Danny already has a busy year lined up.
Danny will join Taylor Swift's "Speak Now World Tour 2011" this summer, for all the June and July dates. He'll also take the stage at the Grand Ole Opry. And, land isn't the only place you'll find him; his fans will be able to join him once again for the 2nd Annual Danny Gokey Cruise. Set for February 2nd-6th, the cruise will depart from Miami with visits to Key West and Cozumel, Mexico. Plans include a welcome party, performances from Danny, and an on-board Super Bowl party. All the money from the cruise goes to Danny's charity, Sophia's Heart.
Sophia's Heart is a non-profit organization created by Danny for his wife Sophia who passed away unexpectedly in 2008 after complications from heart surgery. Danny recently announced a major initiative for Sophia's Heart when he unveiled his vision for the Compassion Nashville Project. The building housing Compassion Nashville was received as a $2.6 million donation for charitable use and will serve as a transitional home for up to 30 pre-qualified families. The massive 76,724 square feet complex on 4.66 acres will also offer tutoring in literacy and life skills, as well as job training and more.
While it sounds as though he has enough to keep him busy, Danny will also find time this year to work on his second album.
