American Christian music star Danny Gokey is set to bring his powerful vocals and chart-topping hits to Seventeen Mile Rocks, with a live concert at Riverlife Baptist Church. Fans in the local community can expect an inspiring night of music and messages when Gokey takes the stage as part of The Sound of Heaven tour.
A Night of Music and Meaning
The concert is scheduled for Friday, 18 July 2025 at 7:00 p.m., and will take place at Riverlife Baptist Church, located at 47 Jennifer Street, Seventeen Mile Rocks. This Brisbane event is one of three Queensland stops, with performances also planned in Toowoomba and on the Gold Coast.
Gokey rose to fame as a Top 3 finalist on Season Eight of American Idol.
He went on to launch a successful career in Christian music, with his debut album My Best Days landing at No. 4 on the Billboard Top 200 chart. Since then, he has earned three Grammy nominations, multiple K-LOVE Fan Awards, and two Dove Awards.
Gokey is known for hit songs like “Haven’t Seen It Yet,” “Rise,” “Love God Love People” and “Tell Your Heart to Beat Again”, the latter earning RIAA Gold status. His music regularly tops Christian radio charts in the United States, Canada and Latin America, including a growing number of Spanish-language releases.
Featuring SVRCINA
Joining Gokey in Brisbane will be Nashville-based artist SVRCINA, who may be familiar to 96five listeners for her songs “Flowers” and “Next Generation.” She last toured Australia in 2023 as a support act for Jeremy Camp. Known for her emotional vocals and lyrical depth, SVRCINA adds a fresh dynamic to the concert lineup.
Gokey’s visit to Seventeen Mile Rocks brings global attention to the local area, giving the community an opportunity to host an artist whose music carries messages of faith, hope and perseverance. He has also used his platform to support others through his non-profit, Better Than I Found It, which partners with charities around the world.
Ticket purchase will open on Monday, 14 April 2025.
With four young children and a life rooted in family and faith, Gokey continues to connect with fans not just through his voice, but through his story. He and his wife, Leyicet, live in Tennessee with their children Daniel, Victoria, Gabriel and Emanuel, and share a desire to encourage others on their own journeys.
