In celebration of the release of her new album and the resurrection of Jesus, Carrie is performing My Savior in a live-streamed event from the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee, on Easter Sunday.
“What better day to perform these songs for you than on Easter Sunday?” she said in a promo for the live stream event. “And what better place than from the mother church of country music,” Carrie added, inviting fans to join her on her official Facebook page on Sunday, April 4th at 11 a.m. central time.
I cannot wait to bring the music from #MySavior to life this Easter Sunday along with a few special guests! RSVP here: https://fb.me/e/3ZZbYIGHS ✨🙏

Carrie, who says she’s been “lucky enough” to record songs with Christian themes throughout her career with hits like “Jesus Take the Wheel,” and “Something in the Water,” told PEOPLE that this gospel album was a “bucket list” project for her.
My Savior features guests like gospel legend, CeCe Winans, NEEDTOBREATHE’s Bear Rinehart, southern gospel and harmonica legend Buddy Greene, and 10-time CMA musician of the year Mac McAnally.
For Carrie, singing gospel songs like the ones she intentionally chose for My Savior, carry a much different significance for her than the ones she performs on the country music stage.
“When I made this album, I’m performing for an audience of one,” she told Noel King. “I’m gonna cry talking about it, but… The whole time I was in the studio, any time I get to sing these songs, I close my eyes and I’m the only person in the room. It’s my heart for God. And I love that. It is a different feeling. It’s happy and it’s deep. And I feel like I’m making my relationship better and deeper with God when I’m singing these songs. So they’re just so important for my heart.”
