Little Faith
It’s rare that you see an ensemble like Little Faith on local club
stages. A dynamic gospel band deeply informed by R&B, their
sights are obviously set far beyond bar crowds as they mount
slick shows whose energy and highly styled presentation are
more often witnessed in casino stage shows than church pews.
They offer legitimate cause for celebration in organist Jack Maeby’s dominant B3 grooves and the way
three powerful voices can supportively differ yet blend. Those three voices belong to seasoned performers Nadia Christine Duggin, John Michael Knowles and Ray Wolffe, solidly backed by guitarist Nelson
Blanton and drummer Jesper Kristensen.
