Rocking out to Christian music with Jeremy Camp

It's not every week that SE Live features a concert by a Christian act. But it's not every week that a Christian act as big as Jeremy Camp comes to town. Over a 10-year career, Camp has sold more than 3 million albums and won several Christian music awards. On March 30, the spring leg of his "We Cry Out" tour rolls into Cape Girardeau, with a 7 p.m. show at Cape First. As of early this week, only about 500 tickets were left, so get them quickly. The show includes openers Francesca Battistelli and Adam Cappa. Tickets are $17 for general admission, $22 for reserved and VIP with meet-and-greet is $75. Look for the concert link at www.khisradio.org to order tickets.
