Subject: Friday night at the Bynum General Store — The Gospel Jubilators

The Gospel Jubilators are coming to the Bynum General Store this weekend, Friday June 24.

Using “only the instruments God gave them,” the Gospel Jubilators have kept the Jubilee tradition alive going on 40 years. Jubilee singing peaked in popularity in the 1930s and 1940s, but Jubilators founder William P. Conner rejuvenated the style in 1972, when he founded the ensemble as a response to the growing commercialization of gospel music. Today, none of the group’s original members remain. The group now consist of Daniel Massenburg, Don Adair, Frederick Tyson, Robert Sherrill, and Harry Leak, the next generation carrying the torch of the jubilee tradition. This all-male vocal group performs a cappella music with rare purity and soul, highlighting vocal traditions of the golden age of ’30s and ’40s gospel.

Barney’s Famous Hot Dogs & Snacks and Little Dippers Italian Ice will be on hand to provide great food and beverages.

Next up. . .  The Matt Phillips Trio on July 1st.
