Sometimes it feels right to just dial into that good ol’ gospel music. Right now we’re featuring John Lee Sanders on our Worship Café home page, rebroadcast from his appearance at Worship Café on June 27th 2010.
John Lee was originally an American, and made the choice five years ago to head up to Canada and become one of us. According to his newsletter, it’s been a good choice: John Lee has been winning Canadian music awards, headlining festivals, and selling out performing arts centres throughout Western Canada since he’s been here. On a side note, Sanders still writes “centers” rather than “centres” – seems like the Canadian spelling of some of these key words still needs to sink in a bit further…
In December of last year John Lee spent some time in Vancouver as the special guest of the Good Noise Gospel Choir, a 75-voice group who hosted three sold-out Christmas shows at the Christ Church Cathedral.

What I liked about John Lee’s appearance at Worship Café was his ability to connect with the people in the café, his down-home attitude, and his great bluesy gospel voice and piano playing. One of the highlights for me was his version of “His Eye Is On The Sparrow” – it just seems to work as a piano piece.
Like all of our past worship events, the complete John Lee Sanders session is in the Worship Café archives; right now you can just go to worshipcafe.net and hear his whole session right on the home page.
