Tuesday noon, August 11
Playin’ Truth will be performing a blend of gospel and old-time favorites at
Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Cohasset.
Playin’ Truth is a
gospel band of acoustic, country- bluegrass style. Since 2013, the group has enjoyed performing
songs of faith, love, and good living. Listeners to Playing Truth will hear a
selection of old favorites as well as lesser-heard songs with a great
message.
Each local band member brings a unique musical history to
the group.
Tom Hopkins, rhythm guitar player
and vocalist, has been singing and playing locally for decades. He brings an amazing and rich repertoire of
bluegrass gospel songs to the group.
John Yurrick, upright bass player, has a great ear for music and brings
with him years of experience with the
local band Not Necessarily Bluegrass. Vern and Cindy Hawkinson, play lead guitar,
mandolin, and fiddle, lend their sweet sounding, husband and wife harmonies to
many of the group’s songs.
Playing lead guitar and mandolin
is Arkansas native Jason Roper, who seems to play any stringed instrument with
equal ease, but he is most at home with the sounds of traditional bluegrass and
old-time country music. As lead vocalist, Leanne Brenden enjoys singing the
melodies and message of gospel music, as well as sweet harmonies.
Leanne tells us that the group is
looking forward to another Tuesday noon performance. That’s at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in
Cohasset, Tuesday, August 11.
