We had a wonderful evening with The Early Mays and Ol’ Whitetail on June 25. The performers and the music were magical, and the audience was large and enthusiastic!
We had a blast last night with Phat Man Dee and her band!
Here are some pictures from the show…

We had a great evening with the jazz of the Alex Hamburger Quartet. Many of the songs were from their new CD, “And She Spoke”, and there were also old standards and newly-written songs–one so new that it didn’t have a title yet! Here are a few pictures from the show…
We don’t often get to crow about the fantastic volunteers and other helpers and supporters that make SongSpace possible. Here are some pictures of some of them, as they made our return to concerts in the sanctuary a reality!
This Thursday, 7:30pm!
Alex Hamburger visits SongSpace at First Unitarian to celebrate the release of her new CD, “And She Spoke”!
Listen to her music and her journey in an interview with WRCT’s Richard Gordon, from growing up around live jazz and jamming with her dad, through classical music, modern interpretations of everyone from Joe Henderson to Mary Lou Williams, Brazilian improvisation, and connections between jazz and poetry, with poets as diverse as Maya Angelou, Paraguayan activist and teacher Ana Maria R. Codas, and Sylvia Plath, in honoring and paying forward the profound and important voices of women.
This promises to be a very special night. See you there!

Well, it was a rainy Sunday and we thought we could sneak in our show with Lonesome No More in between the raindrops! We started 1/2 hr early at 230pm, just because of the weather forecast, and good thing we did, because at 3:05pm the rains came down!
Before they did, though we caught some great video, thanks to Cyndy Carroll! Here are 3 songs from a short but sweet Lonesome No More concert at Baum Grove, June 11, 2021:
