Artist History Since 1996, the special vocal style of "Warrior" has pleased lovers of Gospel music in and around Austin, Texas. Warrior is the custodian of a vocal tradition that dates back to Pre-Civil War Years, where Slaves escaped the torment of the cruelty of slavery through Spiritual songs and celebration. A tradition that transcends jim crow, black codes, segregation and discrimination. Warrior sings and plays Gospel. At their best, their singing pulses with a fervor that far surpasses secular concerts. Their down home music style reflects a facility and fervor that recalls the great Gospel groups of the past and the spirit of a people who refuse to be broken or embittered. Their chordal patterns and powerful rhythm lifts the spirits of all who are blessed to hear them.
