Lee University will host singer song-writer John Mark McMillan on Sunday, Oct. 28, at 7:30 p.m. in the Conn Center.

McMillan is a three-time GMA Dove Award nominee for “New Artist of the Year,” “Worship Song of the Year,” and “Rock/Contemporary Album of the Year.”

He is best known for his song, “How He Loves,” which has spent the last 14 months on CCLI’s Top 25 chart and was marked by Integrity Music as one of the 25 most influential worship songs in the past 25 years. “How He Loves” has been covered by David Crowder Band, Kim Walker of Jesus Culture, Todd Agnew, Flyleaf and several others.

McMillan is hailed for his concise, poetic and often “raw” lyrics.   Music from McMillan’s album, “The Song Inside the Sounds of Breaking Down,” will be featured on the “Economy Class Fall Tour,” which began Sept. 10.

The tour will also feature songs from McMillan’s widely acclaimed album, “Economy,” which became a Top 20 iTunes overall “LP” hit and was used by ABC Network for its Grey’s Anatomy promotions. McMillan’s “Seen A Darkness” was also featured on the 30-second promo for the show’s episode, “Hope for the Hopeless.”
