As anyone who's been down to the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival will tell you, gospel music is extremely underrated as a form of musical entertainment. There's a regional JazzFest equivalent brewing this Friday, when the Gospel Festival of New England takes over the University of Saint Joseph's Hoffman Auditorium, with four of the area's best gospel choirs ? from Hartford's Mount Calvary Baptist Church and Mount Olive Church Ministries and Springfield's Alden Baptist Church and Canaan Baptist Church choirs ? rocking the proverbial pews. It's sure to be an uplifting show. (But then, if you're still reading this, I'm probably preaching to the choir.)
