The Campbell Brothers – award-winning Gospel & blues
EARLVILLE – On Saturday, the Earlville Opera House welcomes The Campbell Brothers with ‘Sacred Steel,’ their compelling, rich multiplicity of material from the African-American-Pentecostal repertoire with a new twist: the growling, wailing, shouting, singing and swinging voice of the steel guitar, played as you have never heard it played before. This concert is sponsored by WAER FM 88.3.
The Campbell Brothers present what they call ‘Sacred Steel’: African-American gospel music revolving around electric steel guitar and vocals. This form of music originated in the House of God, a Holiness-Pentecostal church founded in 1903 by a Tennessee street preacher named Mary Magdalene Lewis Tate. In the 1930s a number of these churches began using the electric steel guitar to function as the central musical instrument of the religious service, easing congregations through contemplative moments and propelling them to ecstatic celebration at other times.
This tradition is has been kept alive in upstate New York in the House of God Keith Dominion Church, where for over sixty years it has been an integral part of worship. As the music moves from sanctuary to concert hall - including some very prestigious venues like the Hollywood Bowl, the Kennedy Center, the Brooklyn Academy of Music and Symphony Space - broader audiences are now able to appreciate their performances that are both devoted and rocking!
