Emmy Award-winning actor, Amazon best-selling author, and Stellar Award-winning gospel powerhouse Earnest Pugh is celebrating a major milestone in his career: the 20-year anniversary of his debut live recording, A Worshipper's Perspective.
Over the last two decades, Pugh has delivered 13 CDs and earned six #1 Billboard hits, solidifying his place as one of gospel music's most commanding and consistent voices. Before his earth-shattering 2009 chart-topper Rain On Us propelled him to international acclaim, Pugh independently released A Worshipper's Perspective in 2006 on his EPM Music Group label - a project that would lay the foundation for a remarkable career in worship music.
The landmark recording featured powerful renditions of the Thomas Whitfield classic "Wrapped Up, Tied Up, Tangled Up," the heartfelt worship ballad "Holy Spirit" penned by Brent Jones, and the energetic anthem "If You Never" by Byron Cage. The live project introduced audiences to Pugh's soaring tenor, authentic worship style, and unwavering commitment to ministry through music.
Anniversary Celebration Concert in Memphis
To commemorate the 20-year anniversary, Pugh will host a special Celebration Concert on July 3, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. at Christ Missionary Baptist Church in Memphis, Tennessee. The evening promises to be a powerful gathering of worship, reflection, and musical excellence.
Serving as Musical Director will be Grammy Award-winning producer Cedric Thompson. The concert will also feature an all-star lineup including:
-
Lena Byrd Miles
-
Lillian Lloyd

LeJune Thompson

Vincent Tharpe and Kenosis

The anniversary event will celebrate not only the impact of A Worshipper's Perspective, but also Pugh's enduring influence across gospel music, television, literature, and ministry.

From intimate worship ballads to triumphant praise anthems, his catalog continues to inspire congregations and listeners worldwide.
