Blind Boys of Alabama - Christmas Show featuring special guest Shemekia Copeland
Some holiday music is wallpaper. This is the other kind, the kind that gets a room full of strangers on their feet before anyone has decided to stand.
The Blind Boys of Alabama have been singing gospel for more than seventy years, Grammy winners and Gospel Music Hall of Fame inductees, and their Christmas show is not something you watch from a distance. They pull the room in song by song, until the hymns you half remember from somebody's grandmother's kitchen come back whole. Shemekia Copeland opens, a blues voice big enough for a cathedral, carrying her father Johnny Copeland's Texas blues into the next generation.
It is a seated show in a beach-town club, which is almost absurdly close for singers of this weight.
Sunday, November 29, the weekend after Thanksgiving. Doors 7 p.m., show 7:30 p.m., 21+. Belly Up, 143 S. Cedros Ave, Solana Beach. $55 advance. Bring whoever still hums in the kitchen, and start planning where you take them after this.
