US GOSPEL TOUR 2012

Experience the passion and depth of the black gospel tradition — join musical director Tony Backhouse to sing in black churches and on quartet programs, attend choir rehearsals, music festivals and workshops. 19 days of rich gospel music and soul food in Memphis, Chicago and New Orleans. Sing with (and to) a Baptist congregation in Memphis, attend a quartet anniversary, visit Barack Obama's former church in Chicago, and get uplifted at the Holy Ghost HQ in New Orleans! Participate in workshops with music ministers and singers from the most dynamic singing tradition on the planet, and then join them for fried chicken, macaroni cheese and mustard greens....



Tony has been regularly visiting the US to explore the black gospel tradition since 1988, and through his connections there can offer a deeper experience than that normally available to the tourist.
