Abstract
Description
The concert “Tryin’ to Get Home: An Evening of Sacred Blues” was part of the series God in Music City. Hosted by Downtown Presbyterian Church on February 21, 2008, “Sacred Blues” was produced by Dave Perkins, a Vanderbilt Divinity School alumnus. The marriage of sacred music and blues offered an opportunity for the performers to sing about their personal struggles and become strengthened from each other. The concert was open to the public, and contributions were accepted for MusiCares and the Gospel Music Trust Fund, which provide assistance to members of Nashville’s music community facing catastrophic circumstances. The photographs in this exhibit case were taken by Elizabeth Streight.
