“Seeing the Blind Boys of Alabama in concert is part living history, part concert, uplifting experience…the best moments come when the group join forces for stirring harmonies,” raves the WASHINGTON POST. The NEW YORKER calls them “Legendary” while ROLLING STONE calls them, “Gospel Titans.” RELIX MAGAZINE says, “This music is music that reaches across decades, belief systems and genres, its sole goal to spread some joy.”
5x-GRAMMY® Award-Winning & 12x-GRAMMY® Nominated Living Legends & Modern-Day Innovators THE BLIND BOYS OF ALABAMA, have been singing together for seven decades. They are not just gospel singers borrowing from old traditions; the group helped to define those traditions in the 20th century and almost single-handedly created a new gospel sound for the 21st. The band has persevered to become one of the most recognized and decorated roots music groups in the world. Since they released their debut single in 1948, the Blind Boys have been hailed as "Gospel Titans" by ROLLING STONE. It's without a doubt that The Blind Boys of Alabama are a pillar of American music. The NEW YORK TIMES says they "epitomize what is known as jubilee singing, a livelier breed of gospel music," adding that "they made it zestier still by adding jazz and blues idioms and turning up the volume, creating a sound...like the rock 'n' roll that grew out of it." The NEW YORKER simply calls them "Legendary."
