About this event
Hailed as "gospel titans" by Rolling Stone, The Blind Boys of Alabama bring their roof raising live show to Guinness Cork Jazz Festival this October!
These guys have collaborated with everyone from Mavis Staple, Stevie Wonder, Prince and Lou Reed, performing on the world's most prestigious stages - next stop, Cork City Hall.
With a 70-year recording career and 5 GRAMMY Awards to their name, this show is sure to blow you away.
"When the Blind Boys started out, we weren't even thinking about all these accolades and all that stuff," founding member Jimmy Carter told NPR. "We just wanted to get out and sing gospel and tell the world about gospel music." Mission accomplished!
Guinness Cork Jazz festival takes place from October 25th - 29th
