SUMMARY:Rock My Soul Holiday Concert
DESCRIPTION:“Unless you’re from the South or attend a church with a 
 bangin’ choir\, you’re not likely to hear bona fide gospel tunes sun
 g the way Rock My Soul performs them.” Jon Nolan\, The Wire\n\nFormed 
 in April 2004\, Rock My Soul has established itself as a burgeoning musi
 cal force in northern New England. With its unique brand of rousing\, ra
 ise-the-rafters gospel music\, the group has garnered an ever-growing fo
 llowing\, and has performed to packed houses throughout New Hampshire\, 
 Maine\, and Massachusetts. Rock My Soul’s concerts attract hundreds of
  paying fans\, who often dance in the aisles to a sound that is at once 
 traditional and contemporary. In October 2005\, Rock My Soul shared the 
 stage with Boston’s legendary Silver Leaf Gospel Singers. As one membe
 r of the Boston group exclaimed\, “You just don’t get to hear gospel
  done that way anymore. I’m so glad you all are doing it!”\n\nRock M
 y Soul is as tight and polished as a fine choral group\, yet has the imm
 ediacy and soulfulness of the old-time\, “golden age” American gospe
 l sound it seeks to revive. And while Rock My Soul’s performances have
  never failed to bring audiences to their feet\, this secular group is n
 ot only about entertaining\, but also about educating—they share bits 
 of background on the stories behind the songs during shows and in concer
 t programs\, and some members present workshops on the history of the mu
 sic and its tremendous\, powerful and positive impact on our culture\, e
 specially during Slavery and the Civil Rights movement.
