Formed some six and a half decades ago, and respected as an indisputable musical treasure, The Blind Boys of Alabama are the Iron Men of the music industry. They predate Elvis, Little Richard and Al Green, yet even in their 70s they are still at the top of the gospel charts and have won an impressive four consecutive Grammy Awards.
The Blind Boys of Alabama join together with the Crescent City’s preeminent brass band pioneers The Dirty Dozen Brass Band for a joyous night of Southern spiritual music and New Orleans rhythms. Featuring individual band performances, as well as on-stage collaborations, the DOWN BY THE RIVERSIDE tour finds these two legendary artists sharing the stage for the first time.
The Dozen return to their roots with material that inspired their 10th album Funeral For A Friend – a deeply spiritual homage to the New Orleans jazz funeral, while the Blind Boys re-visit traditional selections from their 2009 Grammy winning CD Down In New Orleans. The result is a soulful and uplifting meeting of jazz and gospel, from the stirring rendition of ‘Amazing Grace’ to the roof raising favorites ‘I’ll Fly Away’ and, of course, ‘Down By The Riverside’.
