The Howlelujah Tour Coming To Round Top

Author and minister “Padre” Bill Miller and musician Joey McGee hit the road across the American South for The Howlelujah Tour a unifying celebration of music, animal stories, and community connection, with Mystic the rescue dog riding shotgun.

The tour is hosted by churches, bookstores, animal shelters, breweries, libraries, and community organizations, raising awareness and funds for local animal shelters at every stop. The motto says it all: Dog is Love.

“We live in times of deep division in our country and in our world,” says Miller. “What could bring us together better than songs, stories and dogs? Add some food and beverages and we will all join in a unifying chorus of Howlelujah! The Howlelujah Tour is an opportunity to join hands and hearts to make a positive difference in our local communities and our world.”

Each event blends Mc-Gee’s soulful music with Fr. Miller’s humorous and heartfelt storytelling — an evening that is equal parts joyful, inspiring, and communitybuilding to celebrate kindness and do good. Proceeds from each event benefit local animal rescue organizations.

The Howlelujah tour launch event is Saturday, August 1 at 6:15 p.m. at the Saint Cecilia’s Chapel in Henkel Square in round top. It is free and open to the public. All proceeds and donations will go the Gardenia Janssen Animal Shelter in Fayette County. Reception following..
