Tomorrow at 11AM, The Soul Sessions is proud to release our first gospel performance

'Trouble In My Way' with lead singer Keithen Banks and special solos from Dee Dee Hardy and Shannae' Young

We know life moves fast and not everyone can always make it to church on Sunday. That’s why we hope this music can meet people right where they are and bring a little peace, encouragement, and praise into their day.

In a nonstop world, sometimes we all need a moment to slow down, reflect, and feel something real.

Real voices. Real musicians. Real spirit.

Join us tomorrow at 11AM and let this be part of your Sunday morning. We pray it lifts hearts, raises spirits, and gives glory to Jesus.
