When Chandler Moore and Michael W. Smith announced a tour together, I have to admit—I did a double take.

At first, it seemed like an unexpected pairing. But the more you think about it- they have more in common than you think.

Michael W. Smith has been shaping worship music for decades with classics like Agnus Dei and Above All, paving the way for so many artists. Chandler Moore, on the other hand, is leading a new wave of worship with Maverick City Music and powerful songs like Jireh—bringing raw, passionate worship to a whole new generation. If you’ve ever seen either of them in concert, you know they both have a signature move—the piano. So much so that they named the tour: One Night, Two Pianos.

“Moments like this are rare—where we get to strip everything back and just lean into the music and the message. Michael and I are beyond excited to create an atmosphere that’s raw, real, and deeply meaningful. These nights are about connection, worship, and celebrating the incredible things God has done through these songs. Can’t wait to see how God moves!” | Chandler Moore

A Worship Connection Across Generations

Michael W. Smith helped define the sound of worship in the ‘80s and ‘90s. Chandler Moore has been a key voice in worship today. Two different generations. Two different styles. But the same heart—to lead people to Jesus.

It’s easy to get caught up in music preferences, trends, and labels. But worship isn’t about the era, the brand, or the genre. It’s about lifting up the name of Jesus. And that’s exactly what this collaboration represents.

Worship connects generations because God is the God of every generation. He is moving in Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, Baby Boomers—every age, every nation, every heart that seeks Him.

“For the Lord is good. His unfailing love continues forever, and his faithfulness continues to each generation.” | Psalms 100:5
