Just to let TBGB readers know that I’ll be blogging live from the Gospel Music Workshop of America in Milwaukee next week, Monday through Thursday, August 15 – 18. I’ll try to capture as many highlights of each day as I can.
If it’s anything like last year, and I have every confidence that it will be, each day brings more memorable moments: whether it’s hearing Rizen do “View the City” live; hearing the Williams Brothers, Christianaires, and Joe Ligon all singing together ad hoc during the quartet banquet; or witnessing newcomers like LaShell Griffin and stars such as Israel and New Breed performing for the gospel announcers.
Tune in next Monday night, the 15th of August, for the first official blog message from GMWA in the convention’s history!
