The Homeless Gospel Choir have just announced his new album, The Homeless Gospel Choir Presents: Normal, out August 18th via A-F Records. Pre-orders for the record are available now via A-F Records.
“The Homeless Gospel Choir Presents: Normal is a concept record, loosely based on Zanetti telling life stories via short acts throughout the album.” The album was described by Frank Turner as “a generationally defining album for the underground punk scene.” He also said, “In half an hour, Derek reminded me of what punks supposed to be.” Normal features guest vocals from both Frank Turner and Frank Iero.
Derek Zanetti, also known as The Homeless Gospel Choir, is a protest singer, author and artist based out of Pittsburgh, PA. Through his on-stage humor and vulnerability, Derek creates an atmosphere of inclusion and community. He engages with the audience in a way that allows them to know that they’re not alone.
