Tamela and David Mann Launch the Live Breathe Fight Tour With Erica Campbell, Tye Tribbett, Karen Clark-Sheard, and Kierra Sheard
The Black Promoters Collective powers the nationwide celebration of faith, resilience, and gospel excellence.
By Edrea Davis – Tamela and David Mann are bringing their signature blend of music, faith, and inspiration to stages across the country this spring with the launch of The Live Breathe Fight Tour. Set to kick off May 15 in Fort Worth, Texas, the tour will feature a powerhouse lineup including Grammy® winners Erica Campbell and Tye Tribbett, gospel legend Karen Clark-Sheard, and rising star Kierra Sheard.
Presented by the Black Promoters Collective (BPC), The Live Breathe Fight Tour promises a night of soul-stirring music, heartfelt testimonies, and a powerful call to perseverance. The tour will travel to major cities including Houston, Chicago, Detroit, Atlanta, and Newark before concluding in early June.
“Faith, resilience, and the power of worship are at the heart of this tour,” said Tamela Mann, who will headline the event with music from her award-winning album Live Breathe Fight, including her latest No. 1 hit Working for Me. “We want people to leave encouraged, refreshed, and ready to live every breath with purpose and fight every battle with faith.”
David Mann, who will also perform and bring his signature humor to the stage, added, “This tour is about bringing families, friends, and church communities together for an unforgettable night of music, laughter, and inspiration.”
The couple, who have been married for 36 years, are no strangers to entertaining diverse audiences. Both started their careers as part of the gospel group Kirk Franklin & The Family before becoming household names through their roles as Mr. Brown and Cora in Tyler Perry’s stage plays, films, and TV series like Meet The Browns and Assisted Living. Their media company, TillyMann Inc., produces music, television content, and digital media, including the popular MannTV YouTube channel.
Tamela Mann has become one of the most decorated artists in gospel music history, holding the record for the most No. 1 Gospel singles on Billboard. Her projects Best Days, One Way, and Live Breathe Fight have earned her Grammy®, BET®, Billboard®, and NAACP Image® Awards, while her husband David has expanded his career into acting, directing, and mental health advocacy.
Joining the Manns on the road are some of the brightest and most beloved voices in gospel:
-
Erica Campbell, one-half of Mary Mary, whose solo career has produced hits like Positive and Praying and Believing.
-
Tye Tribbett, whose explosive live shows and hits like Victory have made him a favorite among gospel and crossover audiences alike.
-
Karen Clark-Sheard, a gospel music icon from The Clark Sisters whose vocal technique has influenced generations.
-
Kierra Sheard, a Grammy®-nominated artist who continues to build on her family’s rich gospel legacy.
The tour is presented by the Black Promoters Collective (BPC), a Black-owned entertainment company that has rapidly become a major force in the live event industry.
