Blind Boys of Alabama perform Sunday at the Tower Theatre in Bend.

The Blind Boys of Alabama are a national treasure. Formed at an Alabama school for the blind in the late 1930s, the world-famous gospel group has performed hundreds (maybe thousands) of shows, recorded dozens of albums, won five Grammy awards (plus a Lifetime Achievement Grammy) and sung for three presidents.

Throughout their career, they’ve pushed the boundaries of gospel music by blending the genre’s traditional sounds with contemporary material by artists like Prince and Tom Waits. And now, they’re coming to Bend to sing Christmas songs just for you … assuming you buy a ticket and attend the show, that is.

Expect a mix of classics like “O Come All Ye Faithful” and “Joy to the World” alongside the Blind Boys’ usual repertoire of gospel favorites, all delivered by five legendary, awe-inspiring voices.

Blind Boys of Alabama; $40-$60; 6:30 p.m. Sunday; Tower Theatre, 835 NW Wall Street, Bend; towertheatre.org.
