Who are the East Bay Anointed Voices?
The East Bay Anointed Voices (EBAV) is more than just a choir or group; EBAV is a multi-racial, inter-denominational OUTREACH MINISTRY that seeks to comfort those who are disillusioned, depressed and disappointed.
This mix of talented vocalists and musicians of all ages come together to minister the word of God through song and to touch the souls of people who don’t necessarily listen to Gospel music and don’t know the goodness of God. Under the direction of Donald Taylor and Rachelle Rogers-Ard, this dynamic ministry in blue performs original material that sets new standards for gospel music and inspires others to be diverse.
What kind of gospel do they sing?
EBAV’s original material composed by Donald Taylor and Rachelle Rogers-Ard soothes, inspires, and brings joy to the listener. EBAV’s music is a mix of traditional and contemporary gospel styles, infused with jazz, Latin and Afro-Cuban rhythms. Both of EBAV’s composers pride themselves on using both traditional and non-traditional harmonies, blends, and arrangements to appeal to the more contemporary listener.
