Multi-platinum Christian icon Sandi Patty comes to Gainesville

Sandi Patty has been surrounded by music her whole life. Singing her first solo at age 2 was probably a good indication that the road to singers-ville was promising. Now as the most-awarded female vocalist in Christian music, as well as winner of four Billboard Music Awards, five — yes, five — Grammys and 40 Dove Awards, her 30-year career seems to be unstoppable. With more than 11 million records sold and another album ready for release in September, Patty can do no wrong. And now, she’s coming to humble old Gainesville. See a can’t-miss show on Aug. 18 at Westside Baptist Church at 6:30 p.m.
