About Mountain Gospel
Mountain Gospel is a Christian gospel music internet radio station broadcasting the powerful gospel music tradition of Appalachian and Southern mountain communities, where faith, music, and community have been inseparable for centuries. Mountain gospel is a distinct regional tradition within the broader gospel music genre, drawing from the Sacred Harp shape-note singing traditions of the rural South, the bluegrass gospel hybrids of the Appalachian mountains, the old-time religious music that has been passed down through families and churches across generations, and the contemporary gospel expressions that carry these traditions forward for new generations of believers. This musical tradition carries a rawness and spiritual authenticity that differs from the polished production of contemporary Christian radio — these are songs that were written and sung by people whose faith was tested by hardship, whose worship was communal and unmediated, and whose music reflects the full weight of spiritual experience. Mountain Gospel broadcasts this tradition online, making it accessible to listeners far beyond the mountain communities where it originated, serving both the faithful from these traditions who are now scattered across the country and curious listeners discovering Southern gospel's deep roots for the first time. For believers who want gospel music with genuine spiritual depth, Mountain Gospel provides programming that touches the soul.
