Unity Media Limited, the creators of the Allstate Gospel Superfest, unveiled the market and venue for its annual national TV production: The Allstate Gospel Superfest XV “Live in Chicago”.  The producers have chosen Chicago’s House of Hope Arena on the city’s south side to host the fifteenth recording session and music festival slated for 2014.  The event will take place Saturday, March 22, 2014, at 6:00 P.M.CT at the 10,000 seat House of Hope Arena located at 752 E. 114th Street, Chicago, IL 60628.

Many of America’s top inspirational gospel, jazz and mainstream recording artists are being scheduled to take part in the national recording session, which has become highly acclaimed and recognized as an industry leading TV production and live event.  Since 2009, the event has been sponsored by Allstate Insurance Company, and has become noted for its Hollywood styled presentations that are carefully woven into seasonally themed television specials and Cable TV series.

This year will commemorate 15 years in television production and national syndication for The Allstate Gospel Superfest live event and TV series.  Past shows have been recorded in New York City, Baltimore, MD, Atlanta, GA, Cincinnati, OH and other major U.S. cities.

We are planning to recognize many of Chicago’s pioneers during the event,” stated show founder and executive producer Bobby Cartwright, Jr. “We are also extremely elated by this great opportunity for the City of Chicago’s faith-based community, the performers and the thousands of fans who’ll get an opportunity to take part in our live TV recording session.”
