The Jones Family Singers really are a family, and they deliver gospel like no other group. The five sisters, two brothers and father were the subject of a 2015 documentary and have toured extensively — including New York City’s Lincoln Center and globalFEST in Washington, D.C. — with their joyful, foot-stomping gospel. In fact, The Austin Chronicle calls their performances “the living embodiment of the indelible connection between the black church and its rock and soul offspring.” With the UW Madison Black Music Ensemble.
