In his second Century of Song project, The Wild Gospel Night, Bill Frisell will be introducing what is probably the most ecstatic band on today's black spiritual music scene. With their vigorous mix of gospel, soul, blues and funk, the Campbell Brothers from Rochester, New York straddle the seemingly unshakable demarcation line to country music. The breathtaking virtuosity and boundless enthusiasm the three brothers bring to steel and slide guitar together with the energy of the singers are enough to set any dance floor ablaze.

Incidentally, the backing group for Frisell's country and gospel projects will be made up by slide guitar legend Greg Leisz, Kenny Wollesen on drums and bass player David Piltch – promising to make this meeting between country slide and sacred steel at the Jahrhunderthalle Bochum one which will be truly historic.
