Update: This is now a past event although the link is still live. You can check details for this past concert at bethanybordeaux.com/stbs Any of you who know me know that I adore my church and often find excuses to bring it up in conversation, so I'm incredibly excited to announce that they are being gracious enough to allow me to do something I swore I'd never do: a solo show in Nashville, TN. As intimidating as it is to play a show in a town where practically everyone is a musician, I'm delighted to get to share some of my very favorite fiddle tunes and violin pieces with each of you. I'm at a loss to articulate what being a violinist means to me, and I'm humbled to have the opportunity to contribute to the musical landscape of my community in some small way. This show is free and open to the public. An offering will be taken to benefit the St. B's Music Ministry. The crew of folk that has agreed to play with me might be one of the best bands of musicians imaginable and I know you'll be blown away by their talent and graciousness as I am. I'm also SO excited to get to feature three friends sharing their versions of some powerful tunes. Stephen Mason is a multi-instrumentalist-turned-master-barber who rose to fame as part of the band Jars of Clay before opening his own barber shop and becoming known as "The Handsomizer." George Rowe also spent many years in the music industry as a solo artist before launching a highly successful career in real estate, and most recently heading up the Nashville branch of Compass. Jonathan Noël currently serves as the Director of Worship Arts at the Church of the Apostles in Raleigh, NC, often plays piano for singer Fernando Ortega and is a brilliant musician and songwriter. These guest appearances will be huge musical treats for your ears. And speaking of treats...we'd be delighted if you'd be our guests at a reception after the concert is over. Grab a bite and a drink and linger with friends or make some new ones - I've no doubt it will be a warm and welcoming crowd. So mark your calendars and bring your kids, family, neighbors, co-workers, friends, favorite barista - whoever you choose, and sit back for some fiddle and good folk. (I've put all the details below.)
