The last two weekends, we have been treated to some remarkably wonderful music as part of our House Concert and CoffeeHouse series. We are so fortunate in Charlottesville to be blessed with tremendous talent in music and the arts. At our House Concert we had Peyton Trochterman and High Society perform. They were great. These guys blew away the small-but-enthusiastic crowd away with thoughtful lyrics, trumpet riffs by John D’Earth, and Matty Metcalfe on the accordion. The whole evening was a lot of fun for everyone. Here’s a link to his site: http://www.peytontochterman.com/. The Paramount Theater has invited High Society to perform a CD release party. They are the first local band to be welcomed to the Paramount—and with good reason. On Sunday evening, we were blessed to have Alex Mejias give a warm, spiritual Coffee House concert at Broadus. Alex is a local musician who loves to play re-tuned hymns and other spiritually rich melodies. He left Monday morning for Nashville to record his next album.
My only regret about both events is that more people weren’t there to enjoy them. I don’t really know what to do about that (if anything can be done.) Perhaps we need to do a better job getting the word out or personally inviting people. Well, whatever the case, this kind of stuff is just too good not to share. I genuinely feel that way about our whole church experience. This stuff is just too good not to share.
Huge props to the folks who pulled these events together, Jacob Goodson in particular. All of you did a really nice job!
