We screened the first episode of this podcast series yesterday for a select group and it received praise all around. If you lived in Nashville around the time that Lovenoise was a weekly event, you will definitely get a thrill from listening to this podcast series. If you're interested in learning about the Black music history of Nashville going back to the 70s and the greatness of Jefferson St. to present, we encourage you to tune in as well. https://lnkd.in/eqY4F_SS

Join Nashville Public Radio and the National Museum of African American Music on premiere night for an evening filled with insight, community, and the soul-stirring sounds of Nashville's gospel legacy. Musical styles come and go, but there's one sound that has been a constant source of strength, courage and wisdom from the pulpit to the choir lofts on any given Sunday. GOSPEL, the latest four-part history series from Henry Louis Gates, Jr., digs deep into the origin story of Black spirituality through sermon & song. https://lnkd.in/eU8D2JAV
