Seven-time Grammy Award winner and three-time ACM Entertainer of the Year Carrie Underwood has recorded her first-ever gospel live performance DVD, “My Savior: LIVE From The Ryman.” The DVD will be released internationally on July 23 by Gaither Music Group in partnership with Capitol Records Nashville with distribution by Capitol Christian Music Group/Universal. 

Filmed at the celebrated Ryman Auditorium, known around the world as “The Mother Church of Country Music,” the country music superstar brings her best-selling, critically acclaimed studio album “My Savior” (Capitol Records Nashville) to life on the legendary stage with performances of traditional gospel hymns Underwood grew up singing, such as “Amazing Grace” and “How Great Thou Art.”

She said, “This is an album I have always wanted to record and I’m thrilled to be able to bring these uplifting, inspirational songs to life in this special way.”

Other highlights of the Ryman concert include a duet with CeCe Winans, the best-selling and most-awarded female gospel artist of all time, on the classic hymn “Great Is Thy Faithfulness.” Singer/songwriter Bear Rinehart, frontman of the rock band, NEEDTOBREATHE, also makes a special appearance, joining Underwood to sing on another traditional hymn, “Nothing But The Blood Of Jesus.” Southern gospel and harmonica legend Buddy Greene and 10-time CMA Musician of the Year Mac McAnally, both of whom played on the album, also appear with Underwood. The DVD also features the time-honored classics “Because He Lives,” “Just As I Am,” “Victory In Jesus,” “The Old Rugged Cross” and “Softly And Tenderly.” 

“My Savior: LIVE From The Ryman,” a virtual live concert performance from the iconic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, streamed live globally on Facebook on Easter Sunday, raising over $112,000 for Save the Children. Additionally, on July 23, a TV special featuring performances from the “My Savior: LIVE From The Ryman DVD” will air on networks including PBS, DIRECTV, DISH TV, Circle TV, TBN, RFD-TV and more; and it will air in Canada on The Miracle Channel, Vision TV, Hope TV and CTS (Crossroads).
