Yeti Publications Presents: SHOUT TROUBLES OVER: The Ultimate Gospel Video Bootleg, Volume One
Monday, 11/28 at 7:30pm
Tickets $7. Purchase tickets online or at the Hollywood Theatre Box Office
Get ready for super rare scenes of gospel music from the dawn of motion pictures to last month, with images of not only music but also Pentecostal streetcorner sermons and Church of God in Christ “praise breaks.” The music is from such well-known artists as the Staple Singers, Highway QC’s, Rev. Charlie Jackson and Sister Rosetta Tharpe to unknown and obscure performers. There will be a mix of black and white performers, with some Jamaican gospel as well, though mostly it will consist of African-American gospel from the 1950s-‘70s.
NOTE: This is a special program edited together from many sources by McGonigal expressly for this night. Quality of some of the sources is funky at best, but the music is simply stunning throughout.
BIO: Mike McGonigal lives in Portland, OR where he is the editorial director for Yeti Publications. He has compiled two critically-acclaimed CD box sets for the Tompkins Square label: Fire in My Bones: Raw + Rare + Otherworldly African-American Gospel (1944-2007) and the just-released This May Be My Last Time Singing: African-American Gospel on 45RPM, 1957-1982. He’s also compiled four gospel LPs for Mississippi, a few for his own Social Music label, and one for the Spanish label Penniman.
