It will be a night of amazing music at the Ogden Amphitheater. The event website says: “‘Sir Duke.’ ‘Isn’t She Lovely.’ ‘I Wish.’ ‘As.’ The Blind Boys of Alabama bring these songs to Ogden Amphitheater this summer, reimagined through the gospel sound that’s been moving people for over 75 years. Songs in the Key of Life: A Celebration of Stevie Wonder marks the 50th anniversary of one of the greatest albums ever recorded. The Blind Boys aren’t just covering it. They’re transforming every note with sacred soul, turning familiar melodies into something that hits differently when five-time Grammy winners are behind the microphone.”
