Gospel: we lead a weekly acoustic service that blows the roof off on a regular basis. (Little or no praise music.) Oldtime, black, southern, blues, bluegrass, revival gospel, and old denominational hymns done upbeat. It's spreading now to the other area churches as our band sprouts off new starters....

We're Episcopal. The contrast between the music and the liturgy/sacraments is part of why it works. Having a banjo slung up the back of the priest, over his alb, while he fiddles,doesn't hurt either. :~)
