Beautiful Gospel music fills the Egyptian theater!
















Last month I was asked to photograph the Gospel Showcase Concert at the historic Egyptian Theater in beautiful downtown Boise. The red carpet event was sponsored by the Agape church in conjunction with celebration of their ten year anniversary. The event host and MC was none other than vocalist & songwriter Edwin Hawkins (top photo)whose huge hit "Oh Happy Day" has sold millions of copies and is know and sung worldwide. Special vocalists & guests of honor included The Timmons Brothers, Shirley Murdoch(bottom photo), Tremain Hawkin and the Witherspoon sisters. The church handed out special awards to members. Pastor Bryant Townsend (top photo)was among the award recipients. Daughter Joy (second from bottom photo) assisted with presentation to Mr. Hawkins. Red carpet hosts were Beverly and Kelsey. Stunning gowns were provided by Louise Karen Boutique (now known as Mon Cherie) located downtown Boise. The music was amazing! Truly, one of the best concerts I have witnessed!
