Pastor Pat Wright

This high-spirited evening of Gospel and Christmas music has been a mainstay at Shoreline Community College for two decades, benefiting the athletics program.  Now it also supports a music outreach ministry Street Praise, a program that feeds the homeless.

Wright and The Total Experience Gospel Choir have been part of the cultural fabric of the Northwest for over 30 years with their hand-clapping, foot-stomping, toe-tapping gospel music.

Wright founded The Total Experience Gospel Choir in 1973.  The choir, whose members range in age from 6 to 72, is well known nationally and internationally and has travelled and performed in 38 states, on 5 continents and 22 countries.  The choir has been credited with numerous awards and 7 recordings.

Venee Eskridge

Venee Eskridge is no stranger to the Northwest either. She is a seasoned gospel music talent with performances at local churches, schools, malls and special events including “Keepers of the Dream,” “Black Nativity,” and "Duke Ellington Sacred Music Concert” with the Seattle Repertory Jazz Orchestra.

She started singing as a young girl in her father’s church in Savannah, Georgia. She has been featured on several recording projects locally and nationally, and has four solo CD projects of her own, “Christmas with Venee,” “Original Love,” “Only By The Spirit,” and Perfect Gift.”
