African Gospel Acappella comes to Gig Harbor

Posted by Matt Thomson

Music lovers in Gig Harbor are in for a real treat this coming Saturday (Oct 4th).  The African Gospel Acappella, formerly known as the African Gospel Choir, will be putting on a benefit concert at Lighthouse Christian School on Pt Fosdick Drive.

The Acappella group is currently made up of 4 men–all blind (1 was born blind, the other 3 from Measles)–from various tribes in Liberia.  I encourage you to listen to the song that is playing on the African Gospel Acappella’s website.  I’d love for you to share your reaction after listening to this song and reading the members’ amazing stories.  The song changed my entire mood–it just makes me happy and hoppy (you’ll understand that when you listen to it).  Reading their stories sure puts my own struggles into perspective.  My struggles aren’t lessened or eased in any way, but certainly put into perspective.

The concert is Saturday, October 4th at 7pm (doors to open at 6:30pm).  Tickets are $10, free for 12 and under. You can contact Lighthouse School for more info.
