Gospel Sunday at Middle C Jazz – Holiday Edition featuring BRAVE Entertainment

Sunday, December 19th, was twenty twenty one’s last Gospel Sunday show and it was fantastic! I had the pleasure of working that day and if I wasn’t in the Christmas spirit already, I one hundred percent am now. Their angelic voices filled the club with such spirit, and you could truly feel “Santa like” once leaving that afternoon. With this year moving so fast it almost did not feel like Christmas to me and after this past Sundays’ show… its Christmas time yall!!!! Time to jingle bell rock our way into the new year.
