🎸 That’s a beautifully composed tribute to a pivotal moment in Sacred Steel history. The 2010 Sacred Steel Summit in Memphis wasn’t just a concert—it was a spiritual and cultural milestone that brought together generations of steel guitarists from both the Keith and Jewell Dominions to celebrate their shared heritage and evolving artistry2.
Here’s a quick spotlight on a few of the featured artists you mentioned, to further honor their legacy:
Artist | Legacy & Contribution |
|---|---|
Calvin Cooke | Known as the “B.B. King of gospel steel guitar,” he bridged Jewell and Keith traditions. |
Aubrey Ghent | A master of lap steel and powerful preacher, son of Henry Nelson, a Sacred Steel pioneer. |
The Campbell Brothers | Innovators of pedal and lap steel fusion; Chuck and Darick Campbell helped globalize the genre7. |
Ted Beard | Chief Musician of the Keith Dominion; mentor to Robert Randolph and many others. |
Del Ray Grace Sr. | Founder of Sacred Strings Records; key figure in preserving and promoting Sacred Steel10. |
Roosevelt Collier | A dynamic performer from The Lee Boys, known for his electrifying pedal steel work. |
AJ Ghent | Grandson of Henry Nelson; innovator of the stand-up “singing guitar” style. |
Kashiah Hunter | A rising voice from Atlanta, blending tradition with emotional depth. |
The Bartlett Performing Arts & Conference Center became a sanctuary that night, echoing with the sounds of praise, tradition, and innovation. The summit didn’t just showcase talent—it cemented Sacred Steel’s place in the broader folk and roots music narrative, thanks to the vision of Folk Alliance International and the dedication of artists like these.
If you’re working on a historical archive, liner notes, or even a documentary script, I’d be honored to help you shape it further. This is living history, and it deserves to sing.
