Spotlight Concert Series Presents: Jesse Terry

Jesse Terry comes to Berwyn for a full band Concert with Daventry and special guests Craig Bickhardt & Tommy Geddes

Trinity Presbyterian Church in Berwyn, PA is thrilled to announce Jesse Terry as its next performer in Trinity's Spotlight Concert Series on Saturday, October 22nd at 7 PM. Joining Jesse in support of the full band concert is backup band Daventry, with special guests guitarist Craig Bickhardt and percussionist Tommy Geddes. Jesse Terry is a internationally touring, award-winning singer-songwriter and road warrior. His music has been compared to the likes of Paul Simon, James Taylor, and Kenny Loggins. He has an uncanny ability to weave tales of travel and homecoming, and of sorrow and redemption, into songs that are both timeless and fresh. This CT-based artist has toured the globe, made an appearance at Bonnaroo in 2015, and released four albums since 2009. Terry's music reflects an amalgam of influences, from Nashville to Laurel Canyon, and his melodic and lyrically-driven Americana style belongs on a playlist between cuts from Josh Ritter, Jackson Browne, Ryan Adams and Neil Young. Terry's star is on the rise, and it's no surprise. Through the course of four releases, The Runner (2009), Empty Seat On a Plane (2012), Stay Here With Me (2013), and The Calm & The Storm (2015), Terry draws from a wellspring of emotional depth and combines it with performance skills honed over hundreds of shows and hundreds of thousands of miles on the road. The result is a palette ranging from poetic ballads to uptempo, rootsy pieces, always beautifully crafted and displaying sweet wistfulness and heartache. This is music that explores the contrast of light and dark, with a core that is timeless and authentic. Jesse Terry's superlative new EP, The Calm & The Storm, captures both the intimacy of his live performances and his thoughtful compositional style, with choice layers of harmonies and instrumentation that evoke the landscapes and faces of the road, the trials and the joys of a traveling troubadour. The doors will open at 6:30 PM and the concert will begin at 7 PM. There is no charge for admission, but a free will offering of $15-20 per person is recommended. Trinity Presbyterian Church is located on Waterloo Avenue, 1 block south of Route 30 (Lancaster Pike) in Berwyn, Pennsylvania. Parking is free. The GPS address for the main church parking lot is 51 Waterloo Ave, Berwyn PA, 19312.
