Valentine concert: The Ups and Downs of Love

Warm up for Valentine’s Day with a special Valentine concert: “The Ups and Downs of Love” on Friday, February 2, 2024 from 7 – 9 p.m. at the Columbus Mennonite Church at 35 E. Oakland Park. 

With guitar and piano, Bill will sing favorites from the 1940’s through the 1990’s, made famous by John Denver, the Everly Brothers, John Prine, Sam Cooke, James Taylor, Sting, Patti Page, Johnny Mathis, and even “Weird Al” Yankovic.  Bill promises that this year’s show will be a refreshed version with several new songs and new surprises.
 
Ann Fisher will be on hand to add some romantic flute accompaniment on several songs.  David Maywhoor will keep the beat on percussion, and Brian Szuch will add extra sparkle on lead guitar.  Plus, the all-girl trio, The Harmonettes, will sing smooth backup vocals.
 
While the songs will reflect the ecstasy, warmth, heartache, and pain that love can bring, there will be a lighter side too, as Bill poses trivia questions about famous and infamous couples and love songs throughout the decades.  

Stick around after to show to enjoy free and delicious home-made cookies and goodies.

$15 per person donations are suggested at the door, with proceeds helping put on this May’s Central Ohio Folk Festival.
