In partnership with BeNt Shadows House Conterts & Cindy McClellan, we are hosting a house concert at The Leadership Center featuring the ever talented Hope Dunbar.
A meal will be served from 6:30-7:30 p.m. and the house concert will take place from 7:30-9:30 p.m. Everything will take place in the Lakeside room, fire side. We will offer spaced out seating, both soft seating as well as tables & chairs. As with Cindy's House Concerts, it is BYOB if you'd like and a suggested donation of $20.00 p/p. All funds collected at the door, will go to the artist.
Starting at 6/6:30-ish, we'll be offering homemade personal pizza meals to order and enjoy. Our TLC Team will be on hand to prepare and bake your pizzas. Meals will include pizza, salad, and a beverage for $10.00. We will have pizzas that are also gluten-free or plant-based (providing you are ok with yeast) too! So if you are so inclined, please come enjoy a meal along with the beautiful musical stylings of Hope Dunbar.
At the intermission, we'll offer a selection of tasty baked goods (including a few gluten free ones) and coffee or cider for all to enjoy.
Now more about Hope Dunbar! Here is her bio:
Singer-Songwriter Hope Dunbar is a pioneer of the new American prairie style – the incarnation of Americana and Country-Folk sound staking claim under a big sky, shouting at the north wind, digging in and refusing to leave.
It’s early morning in Utica, Nebraska, population 800. The three kids are off at school, her minister husband has begun his day at the church, so Hope Dunbar settles down at her kitchen table to write songs. Behind where she sits, a window opens on what most would consider an empty vista: a dirt road disappearing through fields toward a flat horizon. Hope sees art in the simple and spins tales of limitless possibility, conjures stories of people near and far, living lives inside similar walls, internal and external. Where you’d least expect to find the mystical is where Hope Dunbar’s songs live. And after her morning writing, Dunbar heads out to to begin her shift at a cafe in town. “I write like a sailor knowing the ship is going down. / This is my flare in the night, hoping that one day I might be found.”
Again, suggested donation at the door for Hope Dunbar is $20.00. All funds collected will go to the artist.
