Gospel music powerhouse, Earnest Pugh, has dropped a poignant new music video for his current radio hit “Survive” on VEVO. The soul-stirring song of strength and perseverance anchors the soulful singer’s ninth album, Survive (P-Man Music/Blacksmoke), which releases October 27th. And boasts cameos by Kierra Sheard, Nikki Ross, Sarg and John Paul McGee. The riveting title track is available for download on major digital service providers such as the iTunes Store, Amazon.com and Google Play. A Houston resident, Pugh is donating a portion of the song’s proceeds to the city’s Hurricane Harvey Fund, which benefits survivors of the catastrophic storm. “Survive” was produced by Michael Bereal who also produced Pugh’s prior No. 1 Billboard chart smashes, “I Need Your Glory” and “Rain On Us.”
“Survive” is currently one of the most added songs at gospel radio and Pugh has announced an aggressive October concert touring schedule in support of the new project. The tour kicks off with Pugh performing during the football halftime show – backed by the legendary Red Sea of Sound Marching Band – as Winston-Salem University’s Rams square off against Lincoln University’s Lions at Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem, NC on September 30th.
