SUMMARY:Stay Prayed Up - Southern Film Circuit @ BPAC
DESCRIPTION:Sharing this on behalf of our good friends at the Bologna Performing Arts Center. \n \nThe only thing mightier than Lena Mae Perry’s electrifying voice is her faith. She has spent the last 50 years sharing and sharpening both as the steadfast bandleader of The Branchettes\, a legendary North Carolina gospel group that has packed churches throughout the South and lifted weary hearts as far away as Ireland. Stay Prayed Up is a spirited celebration\, inviting audiences into “Mother” Perry’s close-knit community as the 82-year-old strives to extend her sacred song ministry ever forward. \nThis fast-paced\, foot-thumping documentary follows Perry and The Branchettes as they prepare to record their first\, fully live album\, a hallmark in the canon of Black gospel groups. Health concerns with long-time\, long-fingered pianist Wilbur Tharpe underscore the importance of “capturing the spirit” for producer Phil Cook\, a white Wisconsin-born gospel enthusiast and musical polyglot half of Perry’s age. Through shared prayer\, laughter\, hardships\, and praise\, this “church gospel noisy crew” demonstrates that music\, like faith\, ain’t nothing without some fire inside. \nRun Time: 72 minutes. FOLLOWING THE FILM! Stay for a Q&A with the filmmaker. \nTRAILER: https://vimeo.com/701639637

SUMMARY:Good News Gospel Festival!
DESCRIPTION:The first-ever Good News Gospel Festival will take place on the lawn at GRAMMY Museum® Mississippi on Saturday\, Sept. 3\, 2022\, beginning at 12 p.m. The free community event will celebrate the rich heritage of gospel music in the Mississippi Delta\, featuring performances by the GRAMMY®-winning Mississippi Mass Choir\, Dr. Andrew Cheairs and the Songbirds\, Chris Dixon & Joyfull Noise\, Harmony of Boyle\, The Eternal Light Singers\, G Hope Mass Choir\, Markise Jones & the Guys\, and the Lamplighters of Mound Bayou. Stan Jones\, multi-award-winning musician and Senior Director of A&R at One Entertainment\, will host the show. \n“Part of our mission here at GRAMMY Museum Mississippi is to celebrate all forms of recorded music\,” said Emily Havens\, Executive Director of GRAMMY Museum Mississippi. “While Mississippi is known for its vast contributions to the blues\, there are also a lot of incredible artists who have a deep connection to gospel music in our region. We’re looking forward to extending the Museum’s reach in the community and celebrating gospel music at our first-ever Good News Gospel Festival.” \nThe Good News Gospel Festival is free and open to the public. The event will start at 12 p.m. on the front lawn of GRAMMY Museum Mississippi. Sponsors of the festival include South Delta Planning and Development District\, Visit Mississippi\, Delta Health Center\, McDonald’s\, Visit Cleveland\, and Walmart. Additional sponsors include Entergy\, Big Front Porch Productions\, Boss Lady Workforce Transportation Force\, Byas Funeral Home\, and Zaxby’s \nThe Mississippi Mass Choir was formed over 30 years ago by Frank Williams\, a member of The Jackson Southernaires. Williams shared his vision with Malaco executive Jerry Mannery\, who gave him the green light to assemble the choir with David R. Curry selected as music director. After open auditions and months of rehearsals\, the Mississippi Mass Choir recorded its debut album in October of 1988 at the Jackson Municipal Auditorium. The self-titled debut hit #1 on the Billboard Top Gospel Albums chart and set a gospel industry record for most consecutive weeks on the albums chart (45). It received four Stellar Awards as well as Dove and Soul Train Award nominations. The group was named Contemporary Choir of the Year and Best New Traditional Artist by the Gospel Music Workshop of America. The 1990s and 2000s found the choir touring the country fueled by more than 125 voices. One of the most popular albums of this period was Emmanuel: God with Us\, featuring He Can Fix What’s Broke and They Got the Word. In 2008\, the Mississippi Mass Choir recognized its 20th anniversary with a special live recording called The First Twenty Years. More recent offerings by the choir include Then Sings My Soul\, and Declaration of Dependence\, which featured a guest lead from GRAMMY Award winner Le’Andria Johnson on God’s on Your Side. The Choir has performed in more than 40 states across the United States\, and has traveled to the countries of Japan\, Italy\, Spain\, and Greece\, among others. They were the first gospel group to perform at the Acropolis\, and the first African- American choir to perform with a European symphonic orchestra\, when they performed on Christmas night 2010 with the 92-piece Tenerife Symphonic Orchestra in the Canary Islands. Now in its 34th year\, the Mississippi Mass Choir continues to make standard hymns and new compositions their own while remaining true to the traditional gospel choir sound that brought them safe thus far. \n\n\n\nFor more information\, visit grammymuseumms.org.
