The Blind Boys of Alabama are recognized worldwide as living legends of gospel music.Celebrated by The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and The Recording Academy/GRAMMYs with Lifetime Achievement Awards, inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame, and winners of six GRAMMY® Awards, they have attained the highest levels of achievement in a career that spans over 70 years. The Blind Boys released their latest album,’Echoes Of The South,’in August of 2023. It found the Gospel Music Hall of Fame inductees coming home to Alabama to record in Muscle Shoals. The eleven-song collection is a portrait of perseverance from a group well-versed in overcoming incredible odds-from singing for pocket change in the Jim Crow South to performing for three different American presidents, sound tracking the Civil Rights movement, and helping define modern gospel music as we know it. In March 2024, the definitive book on the Blind Boys of Alabama, Spirit of the Century, was released. It’s an insider history of America’s longest-running group and the untold story of their world, written with band members and key musical colleagues. After all these years, the Blind Boys show no signs of slowing down!
