Gospel is a word that usually brings to mind Christian New Testament writings or associated music. On Sunday, March 14, Joshua Nelson, the “Prince of Kosher Gospel,” brings his vocal stylings—Jewish lyrics  set to the music of African slaves—to the 8th Annual Adolf & Sara van der Walde-Rosenbloum Music Festival.

Nelson’s performance, titled “Good for the Soul,” will be held at Congregation Adath Jeshurun, 2401 Woodbourne Ave. in the Highlands. The festival marks the 50th anniversary of the Kentucky Commission on Human Rights.
