Get ready, Greenville! We’ve got some incredible live music coming our way that you won’t want to miss. Roosevelt Collier, a name synonymous with powerful performances and a truly distinct sound, is set to perform. You might know him as the music director and bandleader for country star Jelly Roll, or perhaps you’ve heard of his four Grammy nominations. But Collier is so much more than just his impressive achievements. He’s a master of the “sacred steel” tradition, a style that combines the spiritual intensity of gospel with the raw energy of rock and roll. His live shows are renowned, described as a compelling mix of a church gathering and a high-energy rock concert.
Collier’s playing is deeply rooted in his upbringing within the sacred steel tradition of the House of God Church. Growing up, he refined his skills alongside family in The Lee Boys, building a reputation for live performances that were profoundly moving. Now, as a solo artist, he commands the stage with an exciting presence. Expect rapid slide work, catchy rhythms, and a wide range that can shift you from deep thought to pure joy. His music is a rich blend of blues, gospel, rock, and swampy funk, all expressed through his distinctive pedal steel guitar. It’s a sound that communicates much about his path and his energetic spirit.
Mark your calendars for a truly special evening! Roosevelt Collier will be performing live at The Mockingbird, located within the beautiful Peace Center.
