One of the most enduring local holiday traditions is the annual show presented by Oakland Interfaith Gospel Choir at Slim's, a San Francisco club that has seen its fair share of the blasphemous and irreverent. Under the artistic direction of Terrance Kelly, the multiracial and multifaith assembly possesses a very versatile style — the choir has contributed to albums from artists as diverse as Linda Ronstadt and MC Hammer. The choir is formal enough to perform for charitable and community functions, yet loose and casual enough to appear on national daytime chat program The Wendy Williams Show.

The Oakland Interfaith Gospel Choir (OIGC) is located in Oakland, California, USA. It was founded in 1986 as an outgrowth of a gospel music workshop, and became an independent organization in 1991. The choir has since toured globally, produced multiple CDs and appeared in films and on television. The choir's repertoire is diverse,[1] and OIGC has collaborated with a variety of pop artists from different genres, including gospel, jazz, and hip-hop.
Founded in 1986, the Oakland Interfaith Gospel Choir was born out of a gospel music workshop led by Terrance Kelly at Living Jazz’s Jazz Camp West. It became an independent nonprofit organization in 1991. Since then, the Choir’s harmonies and gospel repertoire have led to performances with a variety of groups, such as Joshua Nelson, the Prince of Kosher Gospel; the Five Blind Boys of Alabama; and the Duke Ellington Orchestra. The Choir also appears on albums by Linda Ronstadt, MC Hammer, Tramaine Hawkins, and others.
In addition, OIGC supports a youth choir. Started in 1997, they perform at a wide variety of local and other events. The choir provides musical, educational, and social opportunities for Bay Area youth, as well as the chance for mentoring and scholarships.
The latest arm of the OIGC family is the Community Choir, which was established in 2013. In less than two years, this choir has grown to over 70 members. Despite being a non-auditioned choir, OICC features a great degree of enthusiasm and talent. It meets once a month and performs several times throughout the year, including their summer gospel concert.
