The Blind Boys of Alabama, recognized worldwide as living legends, will take the West Kentucky Community & Technical College Clemens Center stage on February 13, 2015 at 7:30 PM.
The Blind Boys of Alabama play gospel music with such a blues flavor that the audience hears a new sound to old, and new, favorites. Since 2000, they have won five Grammy® Awards, a Lifetime Grammy® Award and four Gospel Music Awards. The Blind Boys have earned praise for their remarkable interpretations of everything from traditional gospel favorites to contemporary spiritual material. With as much momentum as the Blind Boys have gathered in the last several years, there is no chance of slowing them down.
I’ll Find A Way, the Blind Boys’ latest release, was produced by Justin Vernon of Bon Iver. A unique collaboration between one of popular music’s longest-running acts and one of its fastest-rising stars, it is a powerful collection of gospel and spiritual songs new and old, featuring some of the Blind Boys’ most fervent vocals as well as contributions by a new generation of Blind Boys fans – Sam Amidon, Shara Worden of My Brightest Diamond, Merrill Garbus of tUnE-yArDs, Casey Dienel of White Hinterland, Patty Griffin, and Justin Vernon himself.
The Blind Boys' live shows are roof- raising musical events that appeal to audiences of all ages and cultures, as evidenced by an international itinerary that has taken them to virtually every continent.
