The Legendary Ingramettes

Six decades of music, 65 years of song, generations tied together through the force of will of a matriarchy of powerful Black women. This is the African-American gospel group The Legendary Ingramettes, founded by Maggie Ingram (who passed away in 2015) as a way to keep her family together through hardship, and taken up by her daughter Almeta Ingram-Miller as a way to continue Maggie’s legacy. Inspired by the Black gospel male quartets of the 1940s and '50s, now known as Richmond, Virginia’s “First Family of Gospel Music" The Legendary Ingramettes bring roof-raising harmonies and explosively powerful vocals, all driven by the voices of women backed by a rock-solid house-shaking rhythm section. Venue: Freeman Arts Pavilion. Presenter: Joshua M. Freeman Foundation.
