Marriott Gateway – Salons C-E

Greg Ferrara and Geneva Tigue are worship leaders, speakers, and songwriters in the Church. They both have been raised in faithful Catholic homes and find solace in the charismatic renewal. Blending an organic acoustic vibe with rich vocal harmony, their sound gives space and nuance for congregations to sing God’s praise and enter into a place of prayer and inner transformation. Their debut record “Grace Fall Down” released this Spring and is a bilingual (English and Spanish) collection of songs the Church loves to pray with. The duo is essential in leading congregations to sung prayer within the liturgy and beyond. Following in the footsteps of All Sons and Daughters, Hillsong, and Caedmon’s Call, Geneva and Greg welcome and encourage the faithful to freely sing out and pray with melody and verse.
