Campbell Brothers

About the Artist

The Campbell Brothers, Chuck, Phil, and Darick, are an anointed group of accomplished guitarists with instruments tuned to the key of the Holy Spirit. These musicians were raised in the “sacred steel” style, a rare music tradition rooted in the African-American Holiness-Pentecostal church, commonly known as the House of God. The steel guitar was introduced to church services by Willie Eason in the late 1930s. His single string passages that imitated the African-American singing and shouting voices remain the signature sound of the Keith Dominion steel guitar style. The goal of a good steel player in the church is to use the guitar to mimic voices, to sing lines of the hymns, and to provide praise music that pushes the congregation closer to feeling the Holy Spirit.
