Heidi & Friends in Concert on Saturday, March 9

Singer/songwriter Heidi Willson brings together her talented family and friends from around the U.S. for another Heidi & Friends in Concert, which is free and open to the public, and will be held at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 9 at The United Church of Christ in Medfield.

For the sixth time, Heidi Willson will perform with musician friends from Navy bands, the Boston music scene and the Praise Team at UCC Medfield. Musicians and singers will be traveling from as far away as Hawaii to join her for this concert with songs reflecting a theme of Love.

“The program includes selections from the American Songbook and ‘The Greatest Showman’, plus jazz, Christian and patriotic selections,” Heidi says. “I like to have a challenge song for each concert, and this year it’s a very cool version of the Natalie Cole song, This Will Be An Everlasting Love.”

The free concert features five horns, a four-piece rhythm section, more than five singers, and will take place in the main sanctuary at The United Church of Christ in Medfield, 496 Main Street, in Medfield, MA.

From Medfield, Lori Barney, Hanna O’Laughlin and David Domeshek will be performing. Lori, a Medfield High School graduate and current student at Vassar College, will be singing, as well as Hanna, a Medfield Middle School student, who is the youngest person to be featured in one of Heidi’s concerts. David Domeshek is a bass player with the UCC Praise Team.

Attendees are encouraged to arrive early to be assured seating.
