An Evening with the Blind Boys of Alabama

Tuesday, November 1: 7 p.m.

This event will feature a live performance from the Blind Boys of Alabama as well as an interview.  The Blind Boys of Alabama are recognized worldwide as living legends of gospel music.  They formed at the Alabama Institute for the Negro Blind in 1939 and toiled for 40 years almost exclusively on the black gospel circuit, playing in churches, auditoriums, and even stadiums across the country.  The Blind Boys of Alabama have profoundly influenced an entire generation (or two) of gospel, soul, R&B and rock musicians and are still blazing trails after all these years.
