Sunday, July 30th • 12pm • Main Stage
The Eagle Rock Gospel Singers began as friends getting together. They began as a choir of 15 people who revived the old Gospel spirit with songs like “I Shall Not Be Moved,” “12 Gates,” and “In My Time of Dying.” They evolved into a band of five, committed to the richness found in early 20th century recordings. They are influenced by past Gospel musicians such as The Dixie Hummingbirds, Washington Phillips, and Sister Rosetta Tharpe as well as a number of modern artists from all genres.
The band preserves traditional music by echoing the stylings of blues, folk, country, and Gospel music from the early 20th century. They push these genres into new territory with electricity, modern vocal harmonies, and pop music arrangements. They play a combination of Gothic Americana roots, Indie Folk Rock, Rock n’ Roll, and traditional Gospel music. A hybridization of genres.
