POSTPONED: Howard Center Presents: Phil Keaggy
Howard Performing Arts Center
CONCERT POSTPONED!
Regretfully we have to announce another postponement of the Phil Keaggy concert scheduled for April 6, 2025. His agent shared that this delay will be important in giving Phil’s hand longer to heal. The healing process has taken much longer than anticipated; the result, however, will be a better concert experience for his fans. We plan to reschedule the Keaggy concert for the fall of 2025. Please look out for the new date on our website or on his website. We will post it as soon as it is decided. We look forward to seeing you then.
For those of you who have purchased tickets to the Phil Keaggy April 6, 2025, concert, we will be contacting you to make arrangements for a refund or a reschedule.
Artist: Phil Keaggy
One of the most admired guitarists in music today, Phil Keaggy continues to delight audiences all over the US, performing primarily acoustic shows and occasional concerts with a band. Aware that God gave him a calling to deliver the Gospel through his music, Phil has been grateful to do just that for the last 40 years, and will hopefully continue to do so.
