South Side Road Crew

FARMINGTON – The sounds of New Orleans traditional jazz and lively gospel music will fill the Fairbanks Union Church at 10 a.m. on Sunday, April 23.

The South Strong Road Crew – Andy Buckland on bass, Scott Dixon on drums, Doug Walrath on keyboard and Sherry Walrath, singing — will play throughout the service and lead the congregation in jazz versions of traditional gospel hymns. Others who will provide special music include Louise McCleery, Nan Berry, John Vetne, Louise and Joel Bunker, Alan Hutchinson and the Fairbanks Church Choir.

Jazz is no stranger to the church. Many famous jazz musicians began as church musicians. Those early beginnings show through in many well-known jazz tunes like “When the Saints Go Marching In.”

Everyone is invited to feel the beat and share in the fun at this all-music sixth annual jazz service. Come early and stay late; the band will play jazz both before and after the service.
