A double dose of soul brings together two of the nation’s most exciting gospel music acts on the same program. Avery*Sunshine has been one of the leading emissaries for gospel music in the 21st century, appearing at major theaters, performing arts centers and jazz festivals. After gaining notice in the gospel/R&B duo DaisyRew, she went international with the solo house hit “Stalker.” But it was her 2010 solo debut, which featured guest appearances by Roy Ayers and Christian McBride, that catapulted her into the big leagues. A gifted keyboardist, she also toured as an accompanist for Tyler Perry and Jennifer Holliday and worked as a choral director for Atlanta performances by artists such as Michael Bublé, Anthony Hamilton and David Foster. With her solo career taking off, she’s released a series of acclaimed albums, singles and EPs, maintaining a devoted following with her sumptuous voice and exhilarating performances.
