Notice

 Our standard mission statement as described above

is not where we perform Christian music since it is

not appropriate or expected.  We only perform

Christian music when the person hiring us wants

Christian music.  We have been performing with this

policy since our inception in 2007.  Our goal is to

exceed the expectations of our customers so we both

can have repeat business.

Ministry Mission Statement

​

Notice

 The statement below applies only when the band performs at churches, ministries and where Christian music is 

requested, expected  and appropriate.

​

Ministry Mission Statement: 

The Hallelujah  Blues Band is committed to serving you with joy, providing you with high quality live entertainment by performing a variety of the best blues and rock and roll that is loved by all.

However, much more than that, The Hallelujah   Blues Band was created by God to amplify God’s Word and build the body of Christ. We do  this through praise and worship to our Heavenly Father and our Lord Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit. We invite all  people to join us in the  joy of praising Jesus, through the gift of music regardless of age, race, gender or denomination. We pray that those who hear our music will be blessed and that those who do not know Jesus

will come to know Him as their Lord and Savior through our ministry.

​

Starting in 1997 as WILBY DUNN, the band

changed their name to The Hallelujah Blues

Band  in 2007.  

That means since this ministry band has been

performing at outreaches and leading worship in

churches since 1997.

​

Blues  as Christian music?   Yes it's true.

​

Spiritual Origins Of The Blues

Before the blues were songs known as

“spirituals.”   Spiritual music is the roots of the

blues.  The Hallelujah  Blues Band is not starting

something new or even reviving something old,

we are continuing a legacy of the origins of a

very important part of the origins of blues music. 

That is why the blues is perfect for leading people

into the presence of God and the singing of the

good news of HIS salvation, in other words

"HALLELUJAH"!

​

The most important American antecedent of the

blues was the spiritual, a form of religious song

with its roots in the camp meetings of the Great

Awakening of the early 19th century.  — many

spirituals would probably have been called blues

had that word been in wide use at the time.

​

Gospel Blues or Holy Blues is a form of

Blues-based Gospel music that has been around

since the inception of Blues music, a combination

of Blues guitar and Evangelistic lyrics. Notable

Gospel Blues performers include Blind Willie

Johnson, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Reverend Gary

Davis and Washington Phillips. Blues musicians

such as Boyd Rivers, Blind Lemon Jefferson,

Charley Patton, Sam Collins, Josh White, Blind

Boy Fuller, Blind Willie Mctell, Bukka White,

Sleepy John Estes and Skip James have

recorded a fair number of Gospel and religious

songs, these were often commercially released

under a pseudonym.

The photos below were taken at

"UNLEASH THE BLESSINGS" an

Outreach Event where the Hallelujah Blues Band performed.  

Many people were blessed by free food,

clothing, various vendors and most importantly

being prayed and cared for.  Also as a result

of this outreach and others there were several

salvations, Hallelujah!  

What a blessing to be a blessing!
