DC Based Contemporary/Traditional Gospel Group CHARLES BUTLER & TRINITY Release Beautiful Single "Make It"
|
Posted By: LaMarr Blackmon on March 07, 2016 Charles Butler & Trinity Gospel recording artists Charles Butler & Trinity (CB & T) has become one of the most regarded gospel acts in the country. Their signature sound infuses traditional and contemporary gospel music and has afforded the Washington, DC, based group the opportunity to spread the message of God’s infinite love to the world. Since their commencement, CB & T has shared the stage with prominent music artists, such as Kirk Franklin, Pastor Shirley Caesar, Richard Smallwood, Karen Clark-Sheard, Kierra Sheard, Pastor Donnie McClurkin, Vanessa Bell Armstrong, Pastor Hezekiah Walker, Tye Tribbett, Donald Lawrence, Pastor Kim Burrell, Tasha Cobbs, J Moss, Bobby Jones, CoKo, Michelle Williams, Lil Mo, Byron Cage, Pastor Marvin Winans, JJ Hairston & Youthful Praise, Bebe Winans, and a host of other talented entertainers. In addition, CB & T has performed on the WORD Network, TBN, and BET’s Bobby Jones Gospel. CB & T’s highly anticipated CD Better was released nationally in July of 2014. The project debuted at #16 and peaked at #7 on the Billboard Gospel Charts. What’s more, the album received an overflow of positive reviews and earned the virtuosos a Stellar Award nomination for Contemporary Choir of the Year. Two of CB & T’s most notable achievements happened right in their city, as the group was privileged to perform before some of the nation’s greatest figures through providing background vocals for Marvin Winans, Bebe Winans, Heather Headley, and Shirley Caesar at the March on Washington 50th Anniversary live broadcast where President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama, former President Bill Clinton, former President Jimmy Carter, Oprah Winfrey, Forest Whitaker, Jamie Foxx, and the King family were in attendance. Additionally, in February of 2015 CB & T was invited to minister at the White House for the Celebrating African American History Month event where they bestowed a soul stirring performance before an audience of influential Black leaders. In conjunction with having their own platform as national gospel recording artists, CB & T are respected background vocalists, lending their vocal prowess to other gospel recording artists. The group covered the Richard Smallwood classic Center of My Joy with Earnest Pugh at the Evolution of Gospel ceremony held at the Kennedy Center, performed the National Anthem at the Wizards vs. Orlando Magic game at the Verizon Center; provided background vocals on gospel recording artist Earnest Pugh’s critically acclaimed Rain On Us project, which debuted at #2 on the Billboard Gospel charts and the title track at #1; accompanied Earnest Pugh on a 15 city tour in Italy; performed at the historical Howard Theatre for the CD release concert of Earnest Pugh and Keith Williams; and backed various gospel artists at Verizon’s How Sweet the Sound choir competition in Baltimore, MD If you enjoyed this article, Join HBCU CONNECT today for similar content and opportunities via email! |
