ANNIE AND JONNY
Friday, March 8, 7:00
Annie and Jonny are well-known musicians from the Saratoga Springs area of New
York. Their music defies easy characterization, moving exuberantly and expertly through the genres of swing, blues, jazz, roots Americana and more. Annie’s strong, rich voice is perfectly complemented by Jonny’s slick guitar playing. We are in for a treat. Tickets at the door $15.
LARRY WORSTER AND FRIENDS
Friday, February 16, 7:00
Larry is a celebrated music man in the valley playing in various groups including Music Director at the Good Shepherd. He will combine forces with his large circle of musical friends in Green Valley for a night of folk, rock, blues, and even a little country music in the best spirit of community collaboration! This concert will benefit the Sahuarita Food Band & Community Resource Center. $15 at the door.
NAMOLI BRENNET
Friday, January 12, 7:00
A celebrated trans singer-songwriter and four-time Outmusic Award Nominee, Namoli Brennet will bring her folk-rock music to the Javarita Coffeehouse. Her live performances blur the line between singer and sonic painter, incorporating loops, delays, and foot percussion to create an ethereal one-woman soundscape--but she's equally compelling in an intimate stripped-down setting.

Tickets must be purchased in advance, either at the church office or on Sunday mornings before or after worship. Tickets are $15. 520-625-1375
MARTY AXELROD
Friday, December 15, 7:00
Los Angeles based singer-songwriter Marty Axelrod will be with us for our annual Christmas Concert. Adored by fans that say he always lights up their hearts, taking our imagination on a journey from the sublime to the ridiculous. If Randy Newman and John Prine had a love child, Marty would be it. Sounds like my kind of concert.
