Gospel musician Jonathan McReynolds isn’t a fan of church clichés and “Christian-ese.” According to the Grammy Award winner, his albums “are about being authentic and genuine, pure and transparent.” His latest full-length, Make Room, is an exciting addition to the genre with powerful vocals and candid songwriting. McReynolds is joined by fellow musician and collaborator DOE for an uplifting Black History Month Gospel Concert. DOE got her start in a gospel septet before going solo and releasing the eclectic, vulnerable, neo soul EP, Brighter. Monique Steele-Griffiths and Chosen open.
