Grace Church presents concert series with local artists

Published 9:10 am Wednesday, September 10, 2014

Grace Church will host three concerts with three fabulous local artists in September and November.

Saint Paul de Vence performs Friday, Sept. 12.

Benjamin Doerr’s band combines evocative storytelling, vintage style, layered melodies and breathtaking harmonies. Don Yates of Seattle’s KEXP says of St. Paul de Vence, “The band’s dynamic, acoustic-oriented sound includes guitars, accordion, ukulele, autoharp, banjo, mandolin, assorted percussion and more, fleshing out well-crafted songs with warm, soulful harmonies and occasional anthemic choruses.”

Eli West plays Sunday, Sept. 28.

West draws from old folk sources, but his music sounds vibrantly alive. West, a Seattle-based musician, brings jagged, angular arrangements based in bluegrass and old-time, but refracted through a 21st century lens.

Grace welcomes Zach Fleury on Friday, Nov. 14.

A Bainbridge Island favorite, Fleury is a singer-songwriter who went from drumming on desks in third grade to becoming a multi-talented musician and producer with two solo albums.

Doors open at 6:30 with the opening act at 7 and the main act at 8 p.m.

Get tickets at brownpapertickets.com or stop by Grace during office hours or on Sunday after church.
