GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Aug. 23, 2011 /Christian Newswire/ -- Every so often a new artist comes around that not only presents a fresh wind of artistry and creativity, but has a genuine passion and zest for presenting the gospel of Jesus to all of God's people. The diversity in his music (contemporary worship, hip hop and pop) and an amazing gift for songwriting and musicality sets Orlando "Substance" Rodriguez and his music ministry in position for global impact.

The Substance fall tour begins at Living Word Christian Center (Grand Rapids, MI) at 7pm on Friday, August 27. The Substance tour will saturate Michigan and move throughout the Midwest and east coast for the rest of the year with more dates to be announced. The Grand Rapids date features special guest Eddie Tucker of Deliverance Temple, Chicago, IL who is an anointed worship leader garnering national recognition for his music production on Bill Winston's Living Word Released project.

Over the past seven years Substance has earned a performance resume that rivals some of the most successful artists in music today. Substance has shared the stage with notables Out of Eden, Donnie McClurkin, and Ben Tankard. His new project Turn Off The World represents an eclectic mix of hip hop, Praise and Worship and contemporary gospel executed in excellence. Substance has tapped the skills of producer Chuck Alkazian (Percy Bady, Desmond Pringle, Christina Aguilera) to capture his high energy performances, diverse styling and prolific songwriting talents.

In support of the tour, Substance is offering a limited time free song download. "Reach Out" is an expressively endearing song that invokes a call to action -- for the body of Christ to not only be concerned, but to offer hope and to serve those in need. "This song is an encouragement to impact outside the four walls of the church," says Substance. "It's my anthem on what ministry is all about to me, which is serving others with the love of Jesus Christ." Free music download at www.substancemusic.com.
