Sacred Steel TV - A living archive on the Airwaves
Sacred Steel TV is a living archive on the airwaves, a weekly broadcast that traces the journey of the African American steel guitar from the wooden floors of Holiness‑Pentecostal churches to the global stage. Each episode weaves together rare footage, oral history, and contemporary performance, revealing a tradition carried by families, churches, and generations of musicians who turned the steel guitar into a voice of praise, protest, and spiritual power. Produced in Toledo, Ohio—the modern home of Sacred Steel preservation—the series documents the masters, the apprentices, the worship services, and the community gatherings that shaped this sound. Through interviews, demonstrations, and historical context, Sacred Steel TV stands as both a cultural record and a celebration, ensuring that the stories, techniques, and testimonies of this musical lineage are preserved for the future.
