(CHRISTIAN POST) – Actor Dennis Quaid is gearing up to release a gospel album and shared why he returned to Christianity after becoming disillusioned by the Southern Baptist church of his upbringing. Quaid performed a solo, “intimate” evening concert on Wednesday in Chicago’s City Winery. The iconic actor wanted people to just “come and have a good time.”
“It is just me. It’s the first time I’ve been doing music on stage by myself since I was 19 years old,” he shared in an interview with The Chicago Sun-Times.
For the past 20 years, Quaid has performed with his band The Sharks, but he’s turned to making inspirational music in recent years. He told the newspaper that he is working on a gospel/inspirational album, due next year.
