Wikipedia Genre: Gospel Home: Gospel Poster Position: 29 Day: Friday at 11:15 am Weekend Two Only.
Thoughts: This is one of those groups that uses a name that might have been used repeatedly over time. There was an old Motown gospel band with this name, that has a popular song from 1960 called "Behold the Saints of God," with 54k streams on Spotify. That group is marked by a strong voiced pack of female vocalists. But then there is also a band of dudes in all blue suits who put out a pretty bad album in 2003 (Bound for Glory), with less than a thousand streams for every song. From what I can tell, neither of those bands is actually the one that will be here in the Fall. The ACL bio seems to point to an entirely different group that is based here in Austin. https://www.aclfestival.com/artist/the-gospel-stars/ So, here is their most watched video on YouTube, at just over 3k views.
Light on instrumentation, heavy on harmonies. If you are taking a half day on Friday to go get your weekend started off, I think I'd recommend Curtis Roush,. but if you need to atone in advance for your weekend, then go get this one under your belt.
