Jo Gore and the Alternative
at Last
Fridays!
Gospel
music has
produced some
of pop,
country,
R&B, blues
and rocks
greatest
musical
talents. Such
is the case
with Jo Gore,
who spent a
good portion
of her
childhood
singing at
Spring Hill
Baptist, in
Columbus
County, NC.
Jo’s father,
A.K. Gore was
the church
pianist, and
the two would
play and sing
throughout the
region.
Speaking of
those days, Jo
said “Spring
Hill Baptist
was a typical
southern black
church...There
was plenty of
soul, field
hollerin,
spirituals,
call-and-response…people
sung and
played by
ear...No one
fell asleep
!!”
Her vibrato,
improvisation,
and
interpretation
of melody is
reminiscent of
the great
vocal jazz and
gospel
stylists of
the 50’s and
60’s. “It’s no
secret that I
have tried to
pattern myself
after Sarah
Vaughan. She
had such an
amazing vocal
range and
beautiful
vibrato."
Gore
can whisper a
soft melody
then kick off
her shoes and
strut across
the stage to
belt out a
powerful hard
driving
rockin' tune
that gets the
crowd up on
their feet.
This is a show
that you need
to see live.
