WHO ARE THE FUNKY DIVAS OF GOSPEL?

The group began 20 years ago on the seacoast of New Hampshire and currently is the collaboration of 4 vocalists and 4 piece band. Our purpose is to share the joys - and sorrows of gospel music (and to rock the house). The spirit that flows through our songs goes back to the roots of music itself. It is universal and tells stories as old as time. We are performers who love entertaining audiences. Our music is primarily defined as gospel in the southern African-American tradition with a heavy R&B flavor. However, while it is that, it is not all we sing. We also include traditional gospel songs, rock, folk and a cappella. Our music is roots music. It is harmony. It is hard rockin’ and reflective. It is toe tapping, it is hand clapping, It can (and does) move audiences to their feet and into the aisles to dance. It roars. It purrs. It is above all - GOSPEL - and the Divas remind everybody, all the time - “Gospel is not now, and never was a spectator sport”.

Funky Divas performances are suitable for all ages and for almost any situation or venue. We regularly perform in concert halls, music festivals and outdoor events, gospel brunches, corporate functions, benefits, and conferences and church services no matter the denomination.

Recently after attending a Funky Divas of Gospel concert, a reporter wrote, “All bluegrass, soul and gospel fans be forewarned: if you miss this funky group, to paraphrase a line in one of their songs, it ain't nobody's fault but yours."
