Be moved, be challenged, and be inspired.
You're invited to a one-of-a-kind musical/spiritual evening at Kingston Congregational Church, Friday April 11 at 7pm.
The music of Tracy Chapman is unforgettable: With songs like "Fast Car," "Give Me One Reason," and "Say Hallelujah," Chapman's tuneful catalog touches on faith, social justice, and all matters of the heart. Our KCC friend Kim Trusty will perform Chapman's iconic songs with her live band at a unique musical/spiritual experience on Friday, April 11 at Fellowship Hall in Kingston Congregational Church.
Joining Kim are special guest performers including Providence-based singer/songwriter Ben Shaw, jazz singer Paula Clare, cabaret singer Eden Casteel, and URI music majors Louis Shriber and Ally Campbell.
Rev. Jan Gregory-Charpentier of KCC will provide some spiritual guidance throughout the evening, which is only a few days before the start of Holy Week leading to Easter. But you don't have to be a churchgoer to have a wonderful experience at this event! All are welcome, and all will feel included.
If you've been to Kingston Congregational Church's Fellowship Hall for concerts, you know that music sounds great in here!
Proceeds from this event will benefit anti-homeless charities in Rhode Island, including The Welcome House of South County.
KCC is fully accessible for all patrons, with easy parking around the building. Drinks and snacks are available for purchase in the Fellowship Hall. Snack proceeds benefit The Rhody Outpost anti-hunger initiative. Feel free to bring along a canned good to donate, too.
At this show the singers are backed by Joe Potenza, bass; George Dussault, guitar; Eric Hastings, drums; and Eden Casteel, keyboards.
