The Blind Boys of Alabama Christmas Show
Mon 12.19 7:30pm @ L2 Church $44 advance
The Blind Boys’ roof-raising concerts appeal to audiences of all cultures. The band’s album Talkin’ Christmas! continues the band’s streak of creating original and interesting work. It includes new versions of Christmas standards, covers of hidden gospel gems, and seven brand-new holiday songs – six of which are the first Christmas songs ever penned by the Blind Boys themselves.
Blind Boys of Alabama
The new original songs include the title track “Talkin’ Christmas!,” a funky tribute to the power of Christmas, and the compassionate “What Can I Do?” The album also features a hand-clapping rearrangement of the usually-slower classic “Do You Hear What I Hear?” and a refreshingly intimate, acoustic version of “Silent Night.”
