Grammy award winning singer/songwriter, Le'Andria Johnson is set to join forces with Lindy's Place Inc., Greater St. Stephen Full Gospel Baptist Church, and WYLD-AM for "A Gospel Music Extravaganza" celebrating Lindy's Place's 20 years of empowering women. Johnson, who just released CD/DVD, Le'Andria Johnson The Experience, has been away from the stage for a couple months after delivering her baby just one week before the September release of her album. Fans of the singer have been anxiously awaiting her return to the stage - Johnson felt the cause behind this concert was the ideal platform to resume doing what she loves the most - ministering through song.

Lindy's Place Inc. is a New Orleans based homeless shelter for women, focused on helping to guide women towards self-sufficiency. Lindy's Place Inc. provides services to their occupants such as: case management, self-awareness workshops, weekly education seminars, group counseling, job skills sessions, and rental assistance for those that move on from the program. Through these services, the organization has helped thousands of women break the cycle of homelessness, unemployment and poverty.

This cause is near and dear to Johnson's heart. The singer has been vocal about the fact that her home was foreclosed on just one day before auditioning for the singing competition she later went on to win, BET's Sunday Best. Johnson found herself battling homelessness with her three children as a single parent. Though Johnson has since been blessed with a new home and a successful career, she does not allow herself to forget the struggles she once faced. Johnson uses her platform to help those in need. Her music gives hope and inspiration to those in the same situations that she was once in.

Le'Andria Johnson is currently nominated in 7 of the top categories for the 2013 Stellar Awards including: Artist of the Year, CD of the Year, Song of the Year, Female Vocalist of the Year and more. Though Johnson has only had a few weeks rest since delivering her baby, she is ready to get back to giving live performances. Johnson recently announced an upcoming tour and plans to release a music video for her single "My Story Continues" later this month.

"The Gospel Music Extravaganza" will take place Friday, October 13th at 7pm at Greater St. Stephen Full Gospel Baptist Church. In addition to Le'Andria Johnson, the event will see special appearances by: Bishop Paul S. Morton Sr., Raymond Anthony Myles Singers, Jones Sisters, Minister Vernon Boyd, Shasta Rembert, and Bishop Earl Blackwell Jr. The event will be hosted by Lisa and Loretta Pettit of WYLD-AM.  For more information on Lindy's Place visit www.lindysplace.org/ for more information on Le'Andria Johnson visit http://musicworldent.com/artists/leandriajohnson
