Music Festival at Almond Union of Churches

Saturday, July 12, Almond Union of Churches will be hosting a huge outdoor music festival.

This festival will be an outdoor event, is open to the public, and there is free admission. It will be held in the lot between the Almond Historical Society and the Almond Union of Churches, at the stoplight in Almond.

There are six bands beginning at 2:00 pm with Simplicity 1, and ending at 9:00 pm with Heartsong Singers. Local favorite Keith Doty will be playing at 3:00, a praise band from the Lighthouse Ministries Church will play at 4:00, The Power Company from the Wayland area will play at 5:00, and Heartsong, a Country Gospel duo will play at 7:00.

Heartsong Singers is a country gospel due from Naugatuck, Connecticut. While singing predominately in the country gospel style, they have easily infiltrated all of the rock boundaries and has sustained a stellular regional appeal. It's the way they sing their songs. The delivery is unique and the voices are soothing and easy to listen to.

Heartsong's territory is expanding quickly beyond regional borders. They have been onTBN, The Praise the Lord Show, a few times sharing their music and ministry. Theiroriginal music can be heard on over 300 country radio stations throughout the world.
Although in New England a Christian country duo is rare, they have gained amazingpopularity since 1999. They have completed several original projects with a radical,versatile repertoire in a 'progressive country' sound. Their lyrics appeal to mainstreamcountry audiences as well because they sing about problems common to man. This is the first time Heartsong will be in this area, so be sure not miss them.

The music festival will have something for everyone. Great music, games for the kids including Frisbee, volleyball and four-square, even a craft table for the younger ones (or just younger in heart).
