The Swing’n Soul Singers will return to Weyburn on Sunday, Nov. 19, at Grace United Church, bringing their southern gospel and soul music back.
The group had performed in the city previously with the Weyburn Concert Series, and are back to sing, with the concert beginning at 3 p.m.
Southern soul and gospel music has enjoyed a resurgence in popularity, and people will experience a hand-clapping, toe-tapping body-swaying sing-along performance. The 30-member choir has performed and travelled for nearly 20 years, always remaining true to their love of gospel and soul music.
Director Tom Magnusson, originally from Midale, looks forward to having his choir sing in the fine acoustics offered by Grace United Church. Elvis Presley grew up with this music, Ella Fitzgerald sang it, Bill Gaither lives it, Whitney Houston was raised on it, Alison Krause delivers it and residents will love it.
Tickets are $20 each, and are available at Music Craft, Old Fashion Foods, the Grace United Church office or by credit card at Barber Motors.
