Community Church Unitarian Universalist (CCUU) is presenting a live concert and silent auction on March 31st, featuring musicians Cindy Scott, Brian Seeger and John Stravers. Proceeds will benefit the building of an outdoor playground for the congregation’s children. Cindy Scott is a well -known New Orleans jazz vocalist and songwriter who is currently professor of music at Berklee School of Music in Boston. She seamlessly combines various musical styles, including jazz and Spanish classics. Brian Seeger, an outstanding guitarist, is a mainstay of the local jazz and recording scene who holds the Alvin “Red” Tyler Professor of Jazz Studies chair at the University of New Orleans. He is known for often taking a different approach to music. His recent record, recorded with his group, Organic Trio, has been in the JazzWeek Radio top 10 charts for the past 6 weeks. He just returned from Paris to sold-out crowds. Brian and Cindy have recorded many musical pieces together and have toured the world, presenting their special New Orleans music. Cindy and Brian will be accompanied by Casandra Faulconer on bass (on break from the touring cirque du Soleil show "Amaluna") and Doug Belote on drums. Jon Stravers, of Iowa, is the Driftless Area Coordinator for the National Audubon Society’s Mississippi River Initiative, founder of the Big Blue Sky music project, and author of many original songs. His style shows the influence of folk, bluegrass, reggae and blues. His songs are remarkable for their haunting beauty. Jon loves birds as much as he loves music, and he has been involved in bird conservation projects for many years. During the break, Jon will give a short talk on birds and the importance of bird conservation.
