Born of fevered rural tent revivals and urban clapboard churches, gospel music was made for the concert stage. Showmanship and virtuosity transformed this music of hope into one of America's most popular and influential musical genres as gospel came of age to inform the creators of blues, rock 'n' roll, R&B and soul revolutions. A dynamic celebration of the gospel tradition, this performance features all-star artists alongside gospel legends and The Fairfield Four, National Heritage Fellowship honorees who were featured in O Brother, Where Art Thou?, and The McCrary Sisters, four daughters of former Fairfield Four bandleader, the Rev. Sam McCrary. Performing with one of the best backing bands Nashville has to offer, guest artists include Amos Lee, Buddy Miller, Lee Ann Womack, Van Hunt and Lucinda Williams.
