Known for their roof raising live shows appealing to audiences of all cultures, The Blind Boys Of Alabama are winners of five Grammy Awards and four Dove Awards, NEA Lifetime Achievement Award recipients and Gospel Music Hall Of Fame inductees. Still fronted by Jimmy Carter since forming in 1939, The Blind Boys performed benefits for Dr. Martin Luther King during the 1960’s Civil Rights movement, sung in the White House for three presidents and earn praise for continually blazing trails for over 70 years as best exemplified on their recent album “Take The High Road.”

“Seeing the Blind Boys of Alabama in concert is part living history, part concert, all uplifting experience…the best moments come when the group joins forces for stirring harmonies.” - The Washington Post
