The Bluegrass Gospel Project is six of the Northeast's finest bluegrass, country and folk musicians. Their music is solidly based in the American bluegrass tradition while paying homage to the beautiful and inspirational message of gospel lyrics. Their concerts include classic and original tunes carefully selected to showcase the band’s textured vocal harmonies and instrumental virtuosity.
The concert is a benefit performance for Volunteer Vermont, a grassroots non-profit that mobilizes local high school students to work in Summerton, South Carolina on building projects during the April school vacation. Started eleven years ago as a one-time response to help rebuild an African-American parish burned down by arson, the experience proved so meaningful that return trips were organized, both with the South Carolina church community visiting Vermont, as well as a Vermont contingent of students and adults going to South Carolina every April to work in the community. The concert raises money for building supplies as well as a scholarship program for participating students.
