LINCOLN BREWSTER
For as long as he can remember, music has been an integral part of Lincoln Brewster’s life. By age two, he was using broken drumsticks to keep time at his mom’s band rehearsals. At age five, he was playing the mandolin for tourists in a port town in Alaska. And by age nine, he had picked up the electric guitar. But music wasn’t just a fun hobby for a bright kid. It was a refuge for Lincoln and his mom in a home plagued by substance abuse and domestic violence.
By his mid-teens, the family had reached a tipping point and Lincoln watched as his mother went through a painful divorce that forced the family to relocate to California. Though he was torn from his hometown and friends, he once again found hope in music. He continued to hone his guitar skills, recording a demo that caught the attention of music industry insider and former “American Idol” judge Randy Jackson. That led to an invitation for Lincoln, then age 19, to tour with legendary rocker Steve Perry. Lincoln, who had accepted Christ before beginning
work with Perry, eventually walked away from mainstream music, taking a job at his local church. That change in trajectory would lead to ministry opportunities he could never have imagined, including a recording career with Integrity Music and his current role as a staff pastor at Bridgeway Church near Sacramento, California.
Years after leaving behind his rock star dreams, this husband and father once again finds himself sharing music with capacity crowds at concerts and festivals, this time leading them in worship with songs like “There Is Power,” “Made New,” “Today Is The Day,” “Let The Praises Ring” and “No One Like Our God.” His songs have been featured on 10 albums including his latest, Perfect Love, a reminder that God is bigger than anything we face and nothing can separate us from His love. It is a theme that echoes throughout Lincoln’s life: from a childhood overshadowed by abuse, to a life filled with forgiveness and a ministry that has inspired believers around the globe.

JAMI SMITH
JAMI SMITH is a worship leader, songwriter, and musician whose authentic voice and passion for leading others into God’s presence have made her a respected name in Christian music for over 30 years.
Her love for music took hold early, singing in her hometown church in Chickasha, Oklahoma, then studying music education at Oklahoma Baptist University. After a profound spirit-led moment leading worship at a youth camp, Jami bought a garage-sale guitar, joined the Centrifuge camp team, and began her journey as a worship leader. Her early years on the road—often alone with just her guitar—were marked by perseverance, faith, and a growing reputation for heartfelt worship.
As her calendar filled with bookings, Jami began traveling full-time. Around this time, she formed a close friendship with members of another rising band in Christian music—MercyMe. While God was clearly growing worship music, Jami was aware of her distinct calling: not just to perform, but to invite people into active worship.
​
By the early 2000s, Jami was leading worship at major events across the country and abroad, ultimately
signing with a national record label and releasing albums that expanded her reach and influence. Her music, marked by its intimate, vertical lyrics sung directly to God (Your Love is Deep, Wash Over Me, Salt and Light), made her a trailblazer as a female in the modern worship movement.
Jami’s musical roots run deep—nurtured by a musical grandmother who played for silent films, a mother
who sang in the church choir, a brother who also now leads worship, and a tight-knit church family that
gave her space to grow.
Now married with children, Jami is based in Oklahoma City, and serves as Worship Pastor at Oakdale Baptist Church. Despite having a job close to home, she continues to travel and lead worship while also continuing to build a rich tradition of annual Christmas concerts, blending worship with family and storytelling.
Whether on stage with her longtime band or with her musically gifted children by her side, Jami remains
committed to pointing people to God’s love, healing, and grace.
​
Jami plays the Hope Fest AZ main stage at 12:30PM.
