A revered “Mother” to many in her community, Lena Mae Perry, 82, has lifted countless spirits with her booming voice as part of The Branchettes, a renowned North Carolina gospel trio. The Branchettes have recorded several studio albums and performed as far aways as Ireland over their 45 year history, but have never recorded a full live album. STAY PRAYED UP offers a heartwarming portrait of Perry as she prepares for a special live recorded performance, which turns out to be the last with her long-time piano player Wilbur Tharpe. An unlikely friendship with Phil Cook, a bandleader and producer half her age, and the surprising aspects of her ministry offer poignant meditations on faith far beyond the church door.
Film is part of Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Filmmakers, a program of South Arts in partnership with National Endowment for the Arts. Come early for a community meal (suggested donation $10) by registering online in ticket link.
