Event Notes
Millions still love and adore the memories of Elvis Presley today. The Blackwood Quartet is carrying on his memory with this concert, and are so very pleased that award winning Elvis tribute artist, Roger Anderson from Seattle, WA will be joining them on this tour.
The Blackwood Family is the first family of gospel music, winning 8 Grammy Awards, 27 Dove Awards, and selling over 60 million albums. They have performed in over 47 countries, and have been inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame. Millions were privileged to hear The Blackwood Brothers sing in The Johnny Cash movie, "I Walk The Line."
ELVIS TRIVIA: Elvis idolized the Blackwood family and wanted to sing with them. He was given that opportunity after the crash that killed RW Blackwood, but Elvis had already signed a contract with Sun Records. He insisted on the Blackwood Brothers Quartet singing at his mother’s funeral, and they later sang at Elvis' own funeral.
