Faith in Action Live, our ten-year celebration CD, is here!
February 1: Faith in Action Live is nominated for 2007 CARA awards in Religious Album and Religious Song ("We Are") categories. Winners will be announced April 1 (no foolin').
Faith in Action is a higher-powered women's a cappella group, combining a taste of jazz with a big gospel sound. Founded in March of 1996, the ad hoc group sang the same song (Sweet Honey in the Rock's "We Are") over several months for church-related events, culminating in a performance at Madison Square Garden in August 1996 for church members from DC to Maine.
After Madison Square Garden, we decided maybe God had a plan for the group, and maybe it was time to learn more than one song. We chose a name, added another member, and learned some original tunes. Since then, FIA has performed with the Boston a cappella community (at a cappella showcases, clubs, and East Coast A Cappella Summits), in gospel concerts, for a variety of benefit events, and on WGBH-TV with Bobby McFerrin. FIA placed third at the Boston Regional Harmony Sweepstakes in 1999.
2006 marks ten years together, and we’ve regrouped with some former members to produce a long talked-about CD. We're excited about the result, and hope you will be, too!
