In this COVID-19 pandemic, we have been seeing countless industries be severely impacted by this virus. Amidst the nation-wide shutdown in the US, many people are losing their jobs and experiencing much slower business. One industry that many aren’t talking about is the music industry, and how it’s impacting artists around the world.

New York rapper Anthony Kannon is one of many who has experienced major changes because of the quarantine. Anthony was just starting out his first major tour with seven shows up and down 6 states on the east coast. Not only did Anthony’s tour have to be postponed to an undetermined date, but he also lost out on an important career experience and any revenue the tour would have generated for him.

Anthony says he will miss out on a total of over $10,000 in performance opportunities. Numbers like that can be very important to a young artist. Anthony states that he’s struggling to come to terms with the loss, but understands that there are many more artists like him struggling . He hopes that artists can come together and find a good way to be “just as effective and visible to the world during this pandemic”.

‘Christmas Eve’ – the much-talked about evangelical film based on seven true stories of people who found Jesus on Christmas Eve – is opening at NCG Cinemas in Tampa, Florida starting November 7, 2025 for a full-run of 5 showings a day.

Tampa is one of the select cities for people to see this film a year in advance.

The film team is telling people not to miss this film as it won’t be in theaters again for another year. NCG Cinemas Tampa is one of the handpicked theaters in Florida showing ‘Christmas Eve’ a year in advance.

Packed crowds have come to advance screenings around the country with the film hot off the press (production wrapped in July). As a result, only select cities will be able to view the film in advance as there is not enough time to market the film nationwide until next year.

However, the fortunate few again will see the film a year in advance before the national release next year at NCG Cinemas starting November 7, 2025.

The film is already winning many people to Christ with reports of people coming to Christ in the theaters lobbies.

“Two of my friends came to Christ,” reported a theater-goer in Honolulu. “It’s a remarkable film about people coming to Christ on Christmas Eve’. Bring your Bible study group or church as they will be beyond blessed.”

Another theater-goer in Dallas said, “I was in tears on almost every story line. It is truly the best Christmas movie ever made. All of these are true stories.”

Another theater-goer in Atlanta said, “This is the most beautiful film I’ve ever seen. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime movie about how Jesus saved seven people on Christmas Eve. Powerful and just stunning. You shouldn’t miss it at all costs.

The film stars Kevin Sorbo, Michael Irvin, Stephen Baldwin, Nzinga Imani, Eric Roberts, Jermaine Wells, Jordan Laesch, David Jofre, et al. The film is based on seven incredible true stories going from the Victorian era through World War 1 through the Civil War all the way to the present day.

‘CHRISTMAS EVE’ – Advanced tickets go on sale soon.
