Reverend Vince Anderson and the Love Choir
FreeNYC Event Flyer Date: Monday, June 22nd
Time: 10:30pm
Location: Union Pool (484 Union Ave., W'burg)
Cost: Free
"Reverend Vince Anderson and the Love Choir will start a new Monday night residency at Union Pool in Williamsburg, Brooklyn after 4 plus years of packing the house as a local favorite in the same neighborhood on Monday’s at Black Betty. Since Anderson is a real minister, the weekly gig serves as both worship service and live performance. Fronting a six-piece band , Reverend Vince Anderson and his mighty Love Choir charge up hipster audiences with two hour long sets of original songs, gospel covers, and what critics tout as a 'Bruce Springsteen-style' of impromptu church preaching. Behind his raspy Tom Waits-like voice, Anderson shifts from singing songs that range from psychedelic bluesy groove and drunken New Orleans Brass band to a do-unto-others style of preaching, referring to his music simply as 'Dirty Gospel'."
