Gospel, Jazz, and Love
The Wimberley Valley Big Band opens the fall season with a wonderful Jazz and gospel music concert in the big beautiful auditorium at First Baptist Church, Wimberley, Texas, on September 21 at 3 PM.
In their inimitable Big Band style, the Big Band will feature “gospel music” as well as familiar jazz tunes and popular love songs. As always, the afternoon should prove to be highly entertaining.
Director Doug Gillory has lined up several brand new tunes for your entertainment and the band’s enjoyment, such as “Gospel John” made famous by Maynard Ferguson, and Southern Jazz versions of Swing Low Sweet Chariot and Battle Hymn of the Republic. The Big Band’s vocalists will sing tunes made popular by Sinatra and Buble. The HoneyTones, eight talented close-harmony singers, will entertain both with the Big Band and a cappella.
The Gospel, Jazz, and Love Concert is free to the public. As always, the nonprofit Wimberley Valley Big Band appreciates donations to continue its mission to bring the joy of big band music to the Wimberley Valley. 100% of donations from this event will aid those victims of the recent Texas flooding event through the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country. This organization serves the ten counties that border the Guadalupe River. That need is very great, and the Band would like to help in their recovery.
What a wonderful way to spend a hot Sunday afternoon…enjoying the Wimberley Valley Big
Band spreading Gospel and Jazz music and Love!
