Music with a Mission is proud to kick off its eighth season by
Bold Riley for an evening of folk music. Bold Riley is a
quintet hailing from western Maine, known for full vocal harmonies and
uplifting originals. Fiddle, guitar, banjo, accordion, bass, and percussion
provide a wide range for listeners. Members Dennis Boyd, Jr., Julia
Edwards, John Gunn, Michael Hayashida, and Erin Sampson take turns singing
lead, and a strong sense of community drives the energy of their music.

“We are looking forward to Bold Riley’s return to our Music
with a Mission concert series,” said Dr. Richard Nickerson, Minister of
Music for NWUC. “After performing here in 2016 and 2018, we’ve received many
requests to have them back. We are especially excited to hear music from their
2019 new release, Kinship.” From their website: “It is family… it is love… it is
hope… the music will bring you joy, because that’s what this is all about. Joy,
connection, community…”
The Music with a Mission concert series is
sponsored by the North Windham Union Church, which donates a portion of the
proceeds to area non-profits. During the first seven seasons, MWAM
provided over $65,000 for mission support to the church and other community
organizations. Bold Riley has chosen to support Windham Neighbors Helping
Neighbors with the community proceeds from this
concert. Since starting in 2007, Windham Neighbors Helping Neighbors has
provided emergency one-time fuel assistance to people in need throughout the
community.
Tickets will be sold at the door and are $12 for adults,
$10 for seniors, and $5 for students and children. They are also
available online at
mwamconcerts.com.
The box office opens at 6 p.m. and the doors will open at 6:30 p.m.. The North
Windham Union Church is located at 723 Roosevelt Trail in Windham. For
