WGTS 91.9 Sells Out Two TobyMac Shows

The station hosted a Friday and a Saturday show. Both shows were sold-out in advance, causing the promoter to add more seats on the side of the stage to meet the demand. “We don’t have a lot of artists from D.C., so when TobyMac comes home, we want to go big,” said WGTS morning show host and marketing director Jerry Woods. “We want people to be blessed, and TobyMac and his team share Jesus in the most engaging, not to mention the most energetic, way possible.” Terrian, Cochren and Company, Jon Reddick, Tasha Layton, and Crowder also had the crowd singing and dancing.
