About this Event
✨ The Blind Boys of Alabama ✨
Recognized worldwide as living legends of gospel music, the Blind Boys of Alabama are true icons. 🙌 With six GRAMMY® Awards, Lifetime Achievement Awards from both the NEA & The Recording Academy, and induction into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame, their influence stretches across generations. 🎶
From reimagining gospel favorites to interpreting songs by Eric Clapton, Prince, and Tom Waits, the Blind Boys have collaborated with music greats like Lou Reed, Peter Gabriel, Bonnie Raitt, Willie Nelson, Aaron Neville, Susan Tedeschi, Ben Harper, Patty Griffin, and Taj Mahal. 🌟
🎤 Their latest release, Echoes Of The South (2023), is a powerful portrait of perseverance, honoring the group’s roots and legacy while pushing boldly into the future. The collection reflects their journey: from singing for pocket change in the Jim Crow South ➡️ performing for U.S. Presidents ➡️ soundtracking the Civil Rights Movement. ✊
🏆 In 2024, the Blind Boys returned to the GRAMMY® stage with three nominations and a win for Best Roots Gospel Album. Their sold-out tours and viral performances (including a sizzling collab with Sir Tom Jones at Bluesfest Byron Bay 🔥) prove their light continues to shine brighter than ever.
📖 And with the release of their definitive book, Spirit of the Century (2024), fans now have a front-row seat to the untold story of the longest-running group in American music.
💛 Their mission remains timeless: “As long as everybody gives all that they have to give and we sing songs that touch the heart, we'll live on forever.”
“We sing from the heart, and what comes from the heart reaches the heart. If you have any feeling in you, you will feel the Blind Boys.” Rolling Stone
“What comes from the heart reaches the heart. That’s what we try to do.” Ricky McKinnie Southern Living
“After seventy-five years of singing, they’re still the guys who run through the audience praising and uplifting with every performance.” The Bluegrass Situation
