It's Sunday, and so we have the perfect song for today. When last I saw Bonnie Bishop, she was performing at the AmericanaFest Gospel Brunch at City Winery Nashville this past September. Come to think of it, the time before that, Bonnie was performing in the Mission Temple Fireworks Revival, with Paul Thorn, The McCrary Sisters and Blind Boys of Alabama at The Franklin Theatre this summer. As it turns out, Paul and company are playing Mountain Stage today. Also look for the upcoming special that Mississippi Public Television filmed of the Franklin Theatre Show. By the way, Paul Thorn has a new Gospel album coming out after the first of the year, and he has amassed a rip roaring cast to share in bringing the good word. (Remember this gospel song we filmed with Paul?)
Bonnie Bishop kicks up the joy every time she sings, and she has a special gift for Gospel infused rockers. She is about to head across the pond to tour in Europe for November, before heading back to Austin for a gig at 3Ten ACL Live on December 1. Ya gotta see her play live! Here is Bonnie from a Music Fog session at 3rd & Lindsley Backstage in Nashville with “Done Died.”
