Sidney Selby's Gospel Roots & Maisha Grant
Sat, 24. Oct 1992, 8 PM | Gospel
Pauluskirche, Basel

6.30 pm
There had been a gospel scandal at the Rheinknie Session in 1989 when the artist Maisha Grant had opened for Liz McComb and had stolen the show. Three years later, Maisha came back, this time as part of the main act with Sidney Selby, two other singers and two accompanying musicians. The two main stars were strong personalities who had dedicated themselves not only to gospel, but also to the blues. It was no big surprise that the gospel songs sometimes drifted into the blues, which made the programme even more entertaining.
