‘Sin and Redemption’ offered at CCA
Be transported from rousing Saturday night juke joint music to Sunday morning church gospel with “True Blues: Sin and Redemption” at 8 p.m. Saturday, March 26, at the Collins Center for the Arts at the University of Maine.
True Blues (Corey Harris, Guy David and Alvin Youngblood Hart) and the Campbell Brothers (Chuck Campbell, Phillip Campbell, Carlton Campbell and Darick Campbell) will collaborate to illuminate the connection between the blues and gospel.
Harris and Hart were featured in Martin Scorsese’s “The Blues: A Musical Journey,” which documents Harris’ travels from Mississippi to West Africa. The Campbell Brothers play lap and pedal steel guitars to produce Sacred Steel, a gospel strain that developed in Pentecostal churches.
