Byron “Mr. Talkbox” Chambers is excited to announce that he will be joining the 2009 Winter Wonder Slam Tour as a member of TobyMac’s Diverse City Band. As he gears up to hit the road, “Ground Zero,” the first single from his forthcoming album, continues to make an impact at radio.

Chambers will be playing guitar and keyboard in the Diverse City Band, and will also step out to perform his “Mr. Talkbox” guest spots, as featured on TobyMac’s three albums.

“When I got the call from Toby to come out, I was so excited! He totally caught me off guard,” exclaims Chambers. “I realize that it is God who opens doors like this and I am stoked to be a part of such an amazing group of players and people!”

In its fifth year, the 20-city Winter Wonder Slam Tour begins today in University Park, PA and will head to the West Coast for 2009, as well as make its way to New York City, Pittsburgh, Louisville and more. GRAMMY Award winner TobyMac once again headlines his popular tour, which also features the talents of Relient K, B.Reith and Stephanie Smith. Continuing its tradition of giving, Winter Wonder Slam is teaming up with the U.S. Marine Corps to help with their Toys for Tots campaign.
