Phil Wickham is a worship leader and Christian rock artist who's been making music since the early 2010s. He got his start leading worship at the Horizon Church in California and has since built a following through both studio albums and his presence at Christian festivals and conferences. His music sits at the intersection of worship gatherings and rock sensibilities—intimate moments that also work in larger congregational settings. Songs like 'Living Hope' became mainstays in church services, the kind of track that gets stuck in your head whether you're at a Sunday service or just listening at home. Wickham's approach tends toward earnest rather than flashy, focusing on lyrical clarity and melodic hooks that feel both contemporary and accessible. He's released multiple albums over the years, maintaining a consistent presence in Christian music spaces without major crossover into mainstream secular radio.

Wickham's shows lean into sustained musical moments rather than high-energy production. Crowds sing along heavily on familiar songs, and there's a contemplative quality even when the tempo picks up. He connects directly with audiences through straightforward stage presence—no elaborate theatrics, just a guy and his band working through the material.

Known for Living Hope, Heavenly Father, Difficult Feet, Response, Jesus Over Everything

Phil Wickham brought a Christmas-leaning setlist to the Wiltern in mid-December, mixing holiday standards with his own material. He opened with 'Angels (Glory to God)' and wove through expected fare like 'Battle Belongs' and 'King of Kings,' but the real highlight was leaning into the season with 'O Holy Night' and 'Canticle' — songs that gave the evening a different texture than a typical Wickham show. Closing with 'Away in a Manger' felt deliberate, like he wanted to leave the room in a particular headspace. LA's seen him before, but this iteration felt intentionally themed.

Los Angeles has always been split between mainstream pop and rock dominance, with Christian music existing in its own lane. The city's sprawling venues—from intimate clubs to massive theaters—can accommodate artists across the spectrum, though CCM acts tend to draw their most dedicated crowds at specific venues rather than breaking through into broader cultural conversations. Wickham's production values and radio appeal could shift that dynamic.

Stay in Los Feliz, where you can walk tree-lined streets and catch views from Griffith Observatory. Dinner at Republique in the Arts District—refined French-inspired food in a restored factory space that feels more Paris than LA. Spend an afternoon at the Huntington Library in San Marino, a world-class art collection that justifies the drive. The city's recording studio history is everywhere; walk through Hollywood and you're literally surrounded by the spaces where hits were made. End the night at a jazz bar like The Fonda Theatre or catch live music on Sunset Boulevard.
