"Get out of his way. With two decades of sharing worship and making music at a Brooklyn bar, the Rev. Vince Anderson appears to be unstoppable." - The New York Times
THE REVEREND follows the spiritual and musical journey of Reverend Vince Anderson. After coming to New York in the 90's to enter the seminary, Vince dropped out to follow his second calling - music. With his band The Love Choir, he has played a now-legendary weekly show for over twenty years. Reconnecting with his faith and using his intense soulful music, he began to preach a type of spirituality that meets people where they are, is open to all, and moves everyone that sees him play. Reverend Vince is also deeply involved in social activism, working with other progressive faith leaders at home and around the country to build inclusive communities. Filmed over several years and featuring Questlove and members of TV On The Radio, The Reverend is a rocking concert film as well as an intimate portrait of Reverend Vince’s inspiring personal and spiritual life.

Rev. Vince Anderson & The Love ChoirBrooklyn, New York
Born in Fresno, CA, Vince moved to NYC in '94 to study at Union Theological Seminary, planning to become a Methodist
minister. He lasted three months before sensing a new direction: to take his music and message to where the people were – into bars and clubs. He started holding weekly “services” in NYC's Lower East Side and Williamsburg which have now been an NYC institution for over 20 years....more
