Tate sang in the artist showcase on April 15th at Singing in the Sun in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and won which led him to the mainstage of the event.  The crowd of approximately 6,000 loved Tate.  He also enjoyed being a part of Southern Gospel Weekend in Oxford, AL in March that was hosted by Vonda Armstrong. In May, he attended the Absolutely Gospel Music Awards Show, after being in the Top 5 for Breakthrough Artist of the Year and Fan Favorite. He is currently working on a Christmas album which will feature one original and a duet with Sound Street's Jaylie Vanderslice. Tate is very thankful for the outpouring support and the opportunity to share the love of Christ as he continues his music ministry.
