City of Gaithersburg Department of Parks, Recreaton and Culture issued the following announcement on May 14.
Gospel music, the uniquely American art form that gave rise to jazz, blues, R&B, and rock and roll, will be celebrated in all of its glory as the City of Gaithersburg presents the 12th Annual Jubilation Day Gospel Concert Extravaganza. On Saturday, June 2, 2018, from 4 to 8 p.m., the Concert Pavilion at City Hall will host performances of all styles of Gospel and Christian music by local and regional artists.
This year’s featured performer is Elder Boykin & the Ministers of Praise, a local group established in November 2011 by Elder Boykin and comprised of members from various churches in the Washington Metro area. Since its formation, Elder Boykin and Ministers of Praise have performed at various churches throughout Washington, DC, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. The group’s newest CD release, “God Gave Me a Second Chance,” can be heard throughout the Washington Metro area.
