Chapel Concert #1: September 22, 2011
A Night of Original Music with Parke Cottrell, Adam Whipple, and the McCoys
Good worship is like unto good breathing – when you do it well, you barely register the methodology. I believe it is a conversation built when the story of each one of us joins, by our reverent thought, with the one Story, the only Story, the one from which all stories and paradigms are drawn: the Story of Yahweh the Hero coming to rescue his lost Maiden.
And so, I love to tell stories.
Through music, photography, and the occasional poem or paragraph, I hope to bring stories which resonate with Beauty and Truth. I grew up in a musical family, buried beneath a pile of literature and surrounded at whiles by my father’s vigilant camera. Knoxville, Tennessee, where I live in a house called Sinclair’s Eve with my beautiful wife and two sunshine rays for daughters, has provided the backdrop for crafting an intricate and informed amalgamation of folk music and long-travelled photographs that unearth the human expressions by which the Gospel is told.
This art is all made in community, and would be myopic and impoverished without the help of dear and talented friends whom I am never able to thank enough. We would love to bring it to you. We relish the chance to step out of the way and let the songs and the stories tear the roofs off our hearts.
