Blind Boys of Alabama Bring Seven Decades of Gospel to Musco Center

08.29.26

Musco Center welcomes the Blind Boys of Alabama, living legends whose reputation is well earned. Rolling Stone has called them "gospel titans," and after more than 70 years together, that title still fits.

The group performs Wednesday, Sept. 9, 2026, at 7:30 p.m.

Few acts in American music can claim the honors the Blind Boys have collected: Lifetime Achievement Awards from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Recording Academy/GRAMMYs, induction into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame, and six GRAMMY Awards, most recently in 2024. What sets them apart, though, is how they've used that stature. Rather than stay within the boundaries of traditional gospel, the Blind Boys have spent decades reinterpreting songs by Eric Clapton, Prince and Tom Waits, and have shared recordings with artists as varied as Lou Reed, Peter Gabriel, Bonnie Raitt and Willie Nelson.

Their most recent album, "Echoes of the South," was recorded in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, and earned three GRAMMY nominations, winning for Best Roots Gospel Album. In March 2024, the group released "Spirit of the Century," a firsthand history of America's longest-running vocal group written with band members and longtime collaborators. That same year, the Americana Music Association gave the Blind Boys a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville during the 23rd Annual Americana Honors & Awards.

Seventy years in, the Blind Boys of Alabama show no interest in slowing down.

The show runs approximately 75 minutes with no intermission.

Tickets start at $43. For tickets and more information, visit muscocenter.org.
