If you’ve spent any time around Centerburg or Mount Vernon, there’s a good chance you might’ve crossed paths—at least indirectly—with Christian artist Seph Schlueter.

Before stepping onto stages across the country, Seph spent time working in ministry in Centerburg, and he still has a soft spot for the area… especially stops like Happy Bean and the local bookstore in Mount Vernon. In fact, he even shared his go-to Happy Bean order during a recent conversation with WNZR’s Ethan Hershberger.

At the time of the interview, Seph was out on his “Counting My Blessings” Tour—a season he describes as nothing short of fun and meaningful. Touring is something he genuinely loves, not just for the music, but for the people. There’s a strong sense of connection that forms on the road, both with his team and the audiences he meets night after night.

That said, life on tour isn’t always easy. Sleeping on a bus and being away from loved ones can take a toll. But for Seph, the purpose behind the music keeps everything grounded. He says it simply—it’s all about being part of moments where people encounter Jesus.

That message hits especially close to home when it comes to his song “Counting My Blessings.” It’s not just a song for listeners—it’s one that’s spoken back into his own life. As he continues writing, Seph says his focus has been on full surrender and what it really means to give your life completely to God.

He also has a deep appreciation for Christian radio, sharing how powerful it is to hear stories from listeners. Whether it’s lifting someone’s day or even helping save a life, he believes there’s something incredibly real about encountering Jesus through a song on the radio.

Now, Seph is getting ready to hit the road again—this time joining Crowder for a spring tour that promises to be something special.

Crowder’s shows are known for their energy and authenticity, blending grit, joy, and his signature “let’s get swampy” style. Fans can expect favorites like “Good God Almighty” and “Grave Robber,” all delivered in venues that feel like they were made for nights like these.

Seph will be joining the tour alongside Patrick Mayberry, creating a lineup that brings warmth, honesty, and hope to the stage. Seph’s “Counting My Blessings” pairs naturally with Mayberry’s uplifting songs like “Lead On Good Shepherd,” making each night feel less like a concert and more like a shared experience.

One of those stops is coming up close to home at E.J. Thomas Performance Hall, located on the campus of the University of Akron.

The concert is set for Sunday, May 3rd, with doors opening at 6PM and the music getting underway at 7PM.
