Listen to music under the stars in the Calderwood Courtyard and enjoy the best in folk, indie rock, world, and singer-songwriter performances.
Kick off the 2012 Concerts in the Courtyard with steel-guitar driven gospel!
The Campbell Brothers present Sacred Steel: African-American gospel music with electric steel guitar and vocal. This tradition is just now emerging from the House of God Keith Dominion Church, where for over sixty years it has been an integral part of worship and a vital, if little known, American tradition. As the music moves from sanctuary to concert hall—including the Hollywood Bowl, the Kennedy Center, Brooklyn Academy of Music and Symphony Space—secular audiences are now able to appreciate a performance both devoted and rocking. Prepare yourself for a “sound as hot as brimstone that kicks holy butt” (NPR).
