Francis Doughty and the Wendell Community Chorus will perform at the Wendell Yule Concert, Saturday, February 4 at 7:30 at the Wendell Town Hall. The chorus will be joined by guest vocalist Moonlight Davis. This night of song and celebration is a fundraiser for Friends of the Wendell Meetinghouse and the Wendell Community Chorus.

This is a rare opportunity to see Francis Doughty, an exciting fingerstyle guitar instrumentalist who is often compared to Leo Kottke.  Francis captivates audiences with his own evocative music  as well as thrilling Kottke covers. Praising his “virtuosic handling of his instrument” the Hampshire Gazette writes: “Doughty uses his strings to get where he’s going… in songs that demonstrate great range and tone… [they] come slowly with feeling, or they come in torrents.”

The Wendell Community Chorus is a multi-generational group who learn and perform songs from all over the world. Their enthusiasm and energy shines through, carrying their audiences along with them in their celebration of song. Directed by Morning Star Chenven, they have been singing together for over five years. Moonlight Davis brings his powerful voice to the chorus performance. This Holiday concert features songs by local songwriters, Bob Marley, Sly and the Family Stone, Sufjan Stevens, and world music selections.

The concert will begin at 7:30pm – doors open at 7pm. Suggested donation is $10 adults, $6 kids.
