Moved by the series of tragic events affecting our nation, Sneed was first moved to release God Bless America as part of his effort to help heal the nation. “Our nation has been affected by several tragedies over the past several months,” Sneed said. “There is no better time than now to release this song. Hopefully the arrangement along with the powerful vocals from Chenee Campbell and Chorale Le Chateau will help people begin to heal.” Chorale Le Chateau is a musical group developing a remarkable reputation for its vivid interpretations of vocal literature, from Renaissance vocal literature to jazz, spirituals, gospel, and avant garde contemporary music. In addition to its performance on “God Bless America,” the group will also be touring with legendary jazz trumpeter Wynton Marsalias and the Abyssinian Tribute. The single was originally released in 2010 on Sneed’s critically acclaimed Introspections LIVE, a collection of classical, jazz and gospel music, featuring a star-studded lineup of special guests such as Iona Locke, Kenneth Whalum III, Audrey Dubois Harris and more.
