The Taste of Soul Gospel Experience will feature vocalist and actress Eloise Laws, songstress Brenda Eager, award-winning Erica Campbell of Mary Mary, and the spiritual music of Black Onyx on Saturday, October 19, during the world’s largest family festival.
The Gospel Experience stage, located in the Angelus Funeral Home parking lot, will also highlight several artists as well as praise dancing, rap, spoken word, mime, and musicians.
