I Hear Music In The Air, one of the most talked about Gospel music conferences, is preparing for its 12th annual event. Attended by thousands and produced by I Hear Music, Inc., and its CEO, Tracey Artis, the conference assembles the top Gospel music artists, professionals and industry insiders to honor, educate, and enjoy music and ministry. This year’s conference features Gospel music’s finest including Fred Hammond, William Murphy, Kevin Davidson, Larry Callahan & SOG, Ray Bady, Canton Jones, J. Moss, Anita Wilson, 21:03, and others. The conference takes place May 17-19, 2013 in Cincinnati, OH
Presented by those with a proven track record in the industry, the conference gives aspiring Gospel artists the tools needed for success. The praise-filled weekend will include something for everyone – a concert featuring local, regional and national standouts in the industry, a workshop full of information for those who would like to learn more about the Gospel music industry, an event for youth, and culminating in the Legend’s Ball, which celebrates leaders in the field.
This year’s special guests include Fred Hammond, J. Moss, William Murphy and Anita Wilson (at the concert). Honorees include Eric Abercrumbie and Head Coach of the Cincinnati Bengals, Marvin Lewis. I Hear Music (IHM) will be presenting the Lifetime Achievement Award to Bishop Paul S. Morton.
