How about a concert in the Providence Academy Chapel? 🎶📻

We are excited to bring back music historian Joel Underwood for a BRAND-NEW concert! Joel's engaging storytelling and interactive performances continue to wow audiences show after show. His latest, "Not Fade Away: Stories and Songs of Buddy Holly", will take you back to the 1950's when rock and roll was hot.
-----
Buddy Holly emerged from Lubbock, Texas in the mid-1950’s and blazed across the rock-and-roll sky like a comet. Before his untimely death in an Iowa plane crash at the age of 22, he and his band The Crickets created a series of pop music masterpieces and the template for what a rock band looks and sounds like, influencing later artists such as Bob Dylan, Elton John, and The Beatles.
-----
Thursday, October 29, 2026
Concert at 6pm, Doors Open at 5:30pm
🎟️ Tickets are $18 (incl. taxes and fees) - Advance ticket sales only
📍 Providence Academy Chapel (Second Floor); 400 E. Evergreen Blvd.

✨Thank you to our concert sponsor, Columbia Invest & Insure, a program of Columbia Credit Union✨
