Sacred Steel meets New Orleans to celebrate the healing power of music

Featuring:

A magical meeting of musical masters occurred in New Orleans in spring 2006 as Sacred Steel gurus the Campbell Brothers were joined by many of New Orleans’ best horn men and singers for a concert to benefit the New Orleans Musicians’ Clinic. As the first all-night, head-on meeting of Sacred Steel gospel music and New Orleans funk and soul, it was a moment of extraordinary musical power and spiritual joy. Together these musicians raised the roof to help heal a city devastated by tragedy and to celebrate New Orleans’ return. In the process, a whole new sound was born, a sound now called Sacred Funk. Drawing from the deepest roots of gospel, New Orleans funk, soul, blues and jazz, and practiced by the masters of these styles, Sacred Funk is a celebration of artistic brotherhood and the healing power of music.
