The Blackwoods Show

The Blackwoods are a part of country music and gospel history and have been performing for over 80 years. Their story began in 1899 when the Blackwood String, consisting of one sister and seven brothers, played their mandolins, fiddles and guitars in local gatherings around their home in Mississippi. Over the years the Blackwoods have been awarded eight Grammys, 27 Dove Awards, five All-American Music Awards, the Publishers Choice Diamond Award and the coveted Living Legend Award in Gospel Music. They’ve performed with country music legends Johnny Cash and June Carter, Dolly Parton, Larry Gatlin and the Gatlin Brothers Band, Frankie Avalon, Cher and Sammy Davis Jr. Today generations of Blackwoods take the stage at the Dutton Family Theater, keeping their name and legacy alive.
