Rebecca St. James at the Poke Sallet Festival

May 30 @ 8:30 pm - 10:00 pm

Rebecca St. James, a well known Contemporary Christian music artist, with 9 #1 singles, will perform at the 69th annual Poke Sallet Festival! The concert will take place Thursday May 30th at 8:30p.m.
Among the most defining artists in Christian music history, GRAMMY Award-winning singer/songwriter, best-selling author, speaker and actress Rebecca St. James rocketed into the global spotlight following the release of her self-titled ForeFront Records debut in 1994. The Australian native’s modern pop sensibilities and uncompromising lyrics set a benchmark in Christian music, leading a new generation of artistry in the genre.
St. James has earned multiple Dove Awards, nine #1 Christian radio singles and two GOLD-certified recordings, and her discography includes such iconic albums as Pray, God and Transform. Author of the best-selling titles Wait For Me (Thomas Nelson) and Pure (Hachette/Faithwords), among others, she starred in the 2009 film Sarah’s Choice; portrayed Mary Magdalene in the groundbreaking rock opera Hero; and voiced “Hope, The Angel” in VeggieTales’ best-selling DVD The Easter Carol, in addition to other diverse roles. An award-winning songwriter, St. James co-penned multiple selections on for KING & COUNTRY’s blockbuster 2019 recording, Burn the Ships, and she is also the host of Rebecca St. James Friends & Family, a new weekly podcast on marriage and parenting available on K-LOVE Radio’s Accessmore platform.
In April 2024, the film Unsung Hero was released, telling the story of Rebecca and her brothers Joel and Luke of For King and Country as their family moves from Australia to the
U.S. and rebuilds their lives from the ground up. The film is currently playing in theaters across the country.
