Eight-time Grammy Award nominee Matt Maher is returning to Mount Marty College for a night of familyfriendly Christian rock at the school. The concert is part of Maher’s “Saints and Sinners” tour, with special guest John Tibbs, and will be presented at 7 p.m. Wednesday, May 4, at MMC’s Laddie Cimpl Arena. This show marks the fifth even played for the Pope,” Yeager said. Besides his Grammy nominations, Maher has also two Gospel Music Association Dove Awards for “Songwriter of the Year” and “Worship Song of the Year.” This year’s “Saints and Sinners” tour is also the name of Maher’s latest album which touches on the issues of unity and the struggle of living “in between,” he said. “We were looking at the idea of the tension between the saint and the sinner — of Ron’s Auto Glass looking at two contrasting things, and incorporating that into the production of the music,” Maher said on his website. “For example, you take an imperfect being, who generates analog sound waves, and they get recorded into a computer that turns them into digital information. You can create so much within a computer that there is a fine line of tension between it sounding perfect versus human, so we tried to arrive at reconciliation between the two.” Maher added that “Saints and Sinners” was an album that allowed him to reflect on his beginning as a musician that got his start in a garage. “Every day, I’d go out there and dream a bit and ask, ‘God, what do you want to build here?’” Maher said. “I thought a lot about the nature of what it means to build something, and I didn’t have a clear sense of where I was headed. I found myself in a place of unknowing. So I naturally started gravitating toward writings and quotes from people having experienced the tension between certainty and mystery.” Several of the songs that have been featured so far on the tour include “Deliverer,” “Because He Lives (Amen),” “Glory Bound” and “Firelight.” He described “Firelight” as “a song about disillusionment and that very frail prayer of asking God to burn and shine in the midst of that and to continue to light the way through darkness. ... Mother Teresa offered a quote that says, ‘If I ever do become a saint, I will surely be one of darkness. For I will not be content to roam the streets of heaven while there’s one soul who still longs for God.’ Her quote captures that hunger of a person, who in the midst of struggle, still loves the marginalized and still loves the oppressed.” The Catholic Christian message of some of these songs lines up well with the Benedictine teachings of MMC, Yeager said.

They get free tickets and don’t have to travel to Omaha or Sioux Falls,” he said. “They also enjoy being a part of the set-up for the concert. They are very supportive, helpful and excited to have this concert come back to campus.” These family-friendly songs open the concert up to not only the students but also to the community, allowing families to enjoy the show, he said. “It opens up our doors and welcomes people up to share this experience with us,” Yeager said. Last year’s concert brought in 1,500 people to MMC, with tickets nearly selling out. With any luck, this year will be the same, if not better, Yeager said. “Either way, we are glad to have Matt Maher back,” Yeager said. Tickets are on sale now at www.itickets.com.
