Funky Fall Fundraiser: Neil Letendre & Becky Bass Friday, September 27, 2019 at 8 PM

A Fundraiser for the Newman Church Music Program

Posted

Newman Congregational Church, U.C.C., is excited to present our annual music fundraiser concert, Funky Fall Fundraiser, featuring Neil Letendre & Becky Bass!

Neil and Becky are two of the area’s very finest singers, performing regularly throughout New England. This event will also feature The Free Downloads (as seen on The Comedian starring Robert De Niro)! Becky and Neil will perform traditional spirituals, gospels, reggae, and funk songs that are all spiritually inspired. Featured composers include Stevie Wonder, the Neville Brothers, Curtis Mayfield, India Arie, and original works by Neil Letendre. This is not a typical church concert, but instead an event of the highest quality music typically not performed by church musicians

Come join us for this unique fundraising event as we rock the house on Friday, September 27, 2019 at 8 pm. We will transform Memorial hall into a casual, club-like setting with the band on our restored stage. The band will be playing two full sets and there will be an intermission. Our kitchen will be selling dinner items including homemade empanadas, so please come hungry! We will also have desserts, tasty treats, and refreshing beverages throughout the event. All of the proceeds go directly to the Newman Church Music Ministry and helps fund our professional singers and future concerts.

The public is cordially invited and there is a suggested donation of $10. Tickets are available at the Newman Church office or by calling 401-434-4742 x10. Sponsorship opportunities are also available. After the gig folks will have an opportunity to meet the musicians. We welcome you for this evening of fun music and dancing – it may be the best thing you do this autumn! Newman Church is located at 100 Newman Avenue, Rumford, RI 02916.
