Blind Boys of Alabama at the Northshore Performing Arts Center

World renowned gospel and blues vocalists The Blind Boys of Alabama will perform their flawless, soulful harmonies at the Northshore Performing Arts Center, 18125 92nd Ave. NE, Bothell, on Saturday, January 23 at 7:30 pm.

The original Blind Boys of Alabama group was formed some 70 years ago, and with current group members they are still at the top of the gospel charts. Winners of five Grammy Awards, a Lifetime Achievement Award (2009), and two Gospel Music Association Dove Awards (2009), the Blind Boys continue to energize and inspire their audiences.
The Blind Boys of Alabama have always embraced the popular music world as a way of reaching a wider audience with their unique style of gospel and secular music that includes the mainstream music lover. The Blind Boys' audience - once rigidly segregated and confined to traditional Gospel venues - now reflects the group's eclectic, global following, while their repertoire has expanded to embrace secular songs with a strongly spiritual message.

The Washington Post described their performance at the Kennedy Center as "...an evening of upbeat, optimistic and quintessentially American music. ...high-energy performances that had the audience on its feet to the very end."

Local blues guitarist Del Rey will open the show with her eclectic blend of country blues, classic jazz, and boogie.

Ticket prices are Adult/$45, Senior/$38, and Youth/$15. Tickets are available online or by calling the NPAC Foundation at (425) 408-7988, Monday - Friday from 12:00 to 4:00 pm.
