A Symphony of Grace: Sidewalk Prophets’ ‘Looking Up’ Redefines the Power of a Tender Heart

Some albums entertain, others inspire, but every once in a while, a collection of songs emerges that does both—leaving an indelible mark on the soul. Enter Looking Up, the highly anticipated 13-track masterpiece from Curb Records’ Dove Award-winning band, Sidewalk Prophets. Released today (Feb. 14), this project is more than just music; it’s a heartfelt invitation to embrace faith, extend grace, and rediscover the transformative power of kindness.

Accompanying the album’s launch is the official music video for Power Of A Tender Heart, a song that encapsulates the essence of Looking Up—a call for less division and more compassion. With an emotionally charged narrative and a melody that lingers long after the final note, the track is a stunning display of the band’s signature storytelling prowess.

A Journey of Faith, Forgiveness, and Humanity

Sidewalk Prophets has always been about more than just making music; they craft experiences that challenge, uplift, and heal. Looking Up serves as a guiding light for those navigating the complexities of faith and humanity, reminding us that humility, kindness, and forgiveness are not just virtues but necessities in a broken world.

With contributions from powerhouse vocalist Ben Fuller (Unbelievable) and American Idol alum Megan Danielle (Looking Up), the album is a testament to the beauty of collaboration, blending raw authenticity with impeccable artistry. Tracks like Hurt People (Love Will Heal Our Hearts) and The Humble Kind reinforce the album’s overarching theme: love is the antidote to pain, and faith is the compass that leads us home.

A Tour for the Fans, Chosen by the Fans

In true Sidewalk Prophets fashion, the band is flipping the script on traditional touring by letting their fans take the reins. Throughout March, April, and May, they will embark on an intimate, stripped-down tour, performing in handpicked venues across the country—an extension of their “Great Big Family” ethos. This fan-driven initiative, which began seven years ago, has already taken them to over 300 unique spaces, proving that music isn’t just about the stage—it’s about the hearts gathered around it.

Fresh off their Great Big Family Christmas tour and the ambitious Songs & Stories Tour, which saw them play 104 shows over two years, Sidewalk Prophets are poised to bring even more unforgettable moments to their devoted audience. And with more tour dates expected for 2025, the journey is far from over.
