SUMMARY:Rock My Soul Holiday Concert at The Orchard Chapel
DESCRIPTION:Join the Rock My Soul choir and band (complete with horns!) for a spirit-soaring evening of R&B\, pop\, soul\, and doo-wop flavored arrangements of Christmas carols and popular holiday favorites. Numbers range from high-energy\, emotionally charged arrangements of familiar songs such as “White Christmas\,” “Joy to the World\,” and “O Holy Night” to the less familiar but no less inspiring “Prince of Peace” and “Rise Up\, Shepherd and Follow.” In contrast\, introspective carols such as a Temptations arrangement of “Silent Night” and tongue-in-cheek\, Eartha Kitt influenced “Santa Baby” will also be performed. A magical and uplifting night for all! \nFormed in April 2004\, Rock My Soul has established itself as a burgeoning musical force in northern New England. With its unique brand of rousing\, raise-the-rafters gospel music\, the group has garnered an ever-growing following\, 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 member 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!” \nRock My Soul is as tight and polished as a fine choral group\, yet has the immediacy and soulfulness of the old-time\, “golden age” American gospel 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 not only about entertaining\, but also about educating—they share bits of background on the stories behind the songs during shows and in concert programs\, and some members present workshops on the history of the music and its tremendous\, powerful and positive impact on our culture\, especially during Slavery and the Civil Rights movement. \n“Unless you’re from the South or attend a church with a bangin’ choir\, you’re not likely to hear bona fide gospel tunes sung the way Rock My Soul performs them.” Jon Nolan\, The Wire
