8:30 pm: The Beatles Sing-Along Jambouree with Glen Roethel & John Redgate!
 
Beatles Sing-Along Jambouree with Glen Roethel and Beatlemania's "Paul," John Redgate
 
A fun, interactive, energizing night out is guaranteed for all Beatles fans.
 
Bring your Beatles song books, warm up your voices and prepare your requests — Glen and John are bringing their legendary sing-along to Long Island.
 
“Glen and John led the best sing-along jam I've EVER seen...and I've seen plenty!” says Penny Nichols, solo artist and background vocalist for Linda Ronstadt, Jackson Browne, Jimmy Buffet and many others.
 
You know all the songs, we all do! Here's a sampling of what Glen and John will sing and play for you — and you should bring your tambourines, bongos and shakers to join in: A Day In The Life, Can't Buy Me Love, Eight Days A Week, From Me To You, Hey Jude, I Saw Her Standing There, Eleanor Rigby, Here There And Everywhere, Honey Pie, Imagine, In My Life, I Should've Known Better, I've Just Seen A Face, I Want To Hold Your Hand, I Will, Lady Madonna, Let It Be, Love Me Do, Nowhere Man, Please Please Me, Revolution 1, She Came In Through The Bathroom Window, With A Little Help From My Friends, You Can't Do That, Yellow Submarine, and many more.
 
Glen Roethel ~ Glen is a singer-songwriter-guitarist with a penchant for positive and intentional songwriting, a bunch of years experience and an active career as an artist and entertainer. He is best known for his versatile guitar stylings, smoothe voice, fun, generous stage presence and as the founding member of Gathering Time. Glen's debut CD, From Beginning to End, hit the streets independently in 2004 on Inspireline Records. In late 2008 he released his latest solo effort, Smaller Things, also on Inspireline. The new CD includes "Pumpkin Street" and "One Word"-- two tracks which had already earned Glen a slot as one of eight finalists in the Susquehanna Music & Arts Festival (SMAF) Songwriter Contest -- as well as "People of the Earth," an inspired call-and-response song which was just published in a new songbook by the Association of Unity Churches International, and which garnered him a prestigious nomination at the 2009 Posi Awards in Orlando, Florida, which recognizes excellence in writers of songs with a positive message. Also in November 2008, Glen released "Songs of Hope and Freedom," a debut CD with Gathering Time, his new folk-rock harmony trio whose sound is often compared to "Peter, Paul and Mary meets CSN." You can hear him on FOLK and PUBLIC radio around the world, XM radio nationally, occasionally on commercial radio (and here tonight!)
 
John Redgate ~ Inspired by his grandfather's easy keyboard style, John began playing piano at age seven. As a Fine Arts major at Georgetown University in Washington,D.C., Redgate's group Lazy River opened shows for Doc Watson and Emmylou Harris and recorded an album for Playboy Records in Los Angeles. In 1978 he landed on Broadway as Paul McCartney in the hit musical Beatlemania, later touring the U.S. and Japan in spin off productions of the landmark show. John is a natural entertainer, multi-instrumentalist and teacher whose knowledge of Beatles music and trivia are so deep, you'll often believe that Paul McCartney is there telling you stories and dipping into his own song catalogue.
 
Tickets are $20 in advance, $22 the night of the show.

Indulge in delicious homemade desserts in the Mallette Gallery while enjoying the work of local artists during the intermission.

Brother Sun in Concert

sponsored by The First Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Hunterdon County
Rt. 519 & Oak Summit Road, Baptistown NJ
 

Sunday, June 3, 2012 - 2:00 pm

 

You are invited to share an afternoon of beautiful harmonies with Brother Sun. Following coffee hour, come join us for a potluck lunch at 12:00 pm, and a 2 pm concert.
 
Tickets are $15.
 
The powerful new harmony trio Brother Sun comprised of Joe Jencks, Greg Greenway, and Pat Wictor have made their mark as veteran touring singer-songwriters, but Brother Sun is no songwriter's round. The trio's harmonies, as much as their lyrics, tell what they are about: warm as a campfire, stirring as a gospel choir, and rousing as a call to arms. Fusing folk, Americana, blues, pop, jazz, rock, and a cappella singing, Brother Sun is an explosion of musical diversity and harmony, in the finest of male singing traditions. Their combined musical skills make for an unforgettable experience - three rich voices blending on a well-crafted foundation of guitar, slide guitar, bouzouki, and piano. This is a concert you will not want to miss!
