PUTNEY — The Bandwagon Summer Series continues on Friday, June 26, with an unforgettable evening of music from Reverend Vince Anderson & His Love Choir, whose high-energy blend of gospel, blues, psychedelic soul, and rock has earned acclaim from audiences around the world.
Proclaimed an “institution” by Questlove, Rev. Vince Anderson has spent more than three decades developing his signature style of “Dirty Gospel” — a joyous, revival-style musical experience that transforms every performance into a full-on celebration. Leading from the piano, Anderson and his five-piece Love Choir deliver a powerful mix of soulful grooves, spirited improvisation, and infectious energy.
The band features musicians who have performed with TV on the Radio, Nick Waterhouse, and Burnt Sugar, and has built a devoted following through performances in New York City and beyond. Anderson is also the subject of the award-winning documentary The Reverend.
The concert takes place at the Putney Inn Field, 57 Putney Landing Road in Putney. Gates open at 5 p.m., and music begins at 6 p.m.
Food will be available from Smokin’ Bowls and AlpineGlo Farm Taqueria. Audience members are encouraged to bring blankets or folding chairs and enjoy an evening of live music in a relaxed outdoor setting.
