A Honeytree concert is both fun and moving, nostalgic and new. You will hear favorites like Clean Before My Lord and Rattle Me Shake Me which emerged from the heart of the Jesus Movement in the early 1970s. You will hear songs like Pioneer, Up to Something Good, and Walk with Me – signposts along her journey through life and ministry. You will enjoy her beautiful acoustic guitar artistry.
Nancy Honeytree helped pioneer what we now recognize as contemporary Christian music.
As a singer-songwriter, Honeytree has a gift for taking everyday moments and giving them meaning. Her lyrics are not lofty; they are honest. In her vulnerability, there is power. Her faith is not a distant theology, but a lived experience – sometimes tender, sometimes humorous, always anchored in Jesus.
Cross cultural singing is a passion for Nancy. She speaks Spanish and has 3 albums in Spanish, the most recent called, “Acompáñame” (the English version is “Walk with Me.”) Nancy is involved daily in Legado de Acompañamiento, an online grief recovery ministry in Spanish. She also has 2 brand-new releases in the Urdu language of Pakistan, duets with Zubin Ernest, “Call of the Harvest” and “Hai Yakeen” (I Believe.)
Tickets are $30.00 in advance and $40.00 at the door. Seating is general admission and doors open at 6:30 PM.
The Music Factory is located on the 2nd floor of a non-handicap accessible building and there are some stairs to climb.

Matthew Ward has one of the most prolific voices in any genre of music, helping create the sound of contemporary Christian music. He started as part of the 70s group, 2nd Chapter of Acts, which is credited with changing the sound of Christian music.
Matthew’s career has spanned more than 40 years and has included touring all 50 states and traveling to more than 30 countries. As a solo artist, Matthew has released 9 albums, as well as 15 albums as a performing member of the 2nd Chapter of Acts.
Matthew has recorded or performed with more than 50 contemporary Christian artists.

At the age of 13, Matthew and his two sisters formed 2nd Chapter of Acts out of their therapeutic nightly sing-a- longs, and Buck’s contact with born-again Eve of Destruction and 60s icon singer, Barry McGuire, catapulted the group into stardom on the Christian circuit. When Matthew was 18, he recorded his first solo album,Toward Eternity. In January of 1994, Matthew Ward was diagnosed with three types of cancer. For two years Matthew battled the disease. Out of this ordeal came My Redeemer, an album of songs about his fight with cancer and the comfort of faith; it became the most widely acclaimed work of his solo career.

Nashville based singer/songwriter and recording artist Jim Cole, is performing a James Taylor tribute concert at the Music Factory!
Jim Cole is a Nashville based singer/songwriter and recording artist. Over the course of his career Jim has written and recorded nine albums, with many of those accompanying singles charting in the top ten. Cole’s latest, a Christmas recording entitled Unto Us, peaked at #15 on the Billboard charts. In addition to his radio presence, Jim has performed as a featured artist on numerous television specials including Nashville Now for TBS, Daryll Waltrip and Amy Grant’s Easter and Christmas Specials for DirecTV, and The Tim Janis Enchanted Evening series for PBS. Cole has also provided the music soundtrack for Joan Lunden’s DirecTV series, Hometown Heroes.
As a working musician for more than thirty-five years, Jim has traveled extensively throughout the U.S., eastern and western Europe and Asia, performing in venues as varied as The Taipei Cultural Center in Taiwan and Carnegie Hall in New York. Additionally, as an Artist-In-Residence he has taught songwriting and stage performance at various universities throughout the world.
And now, Jim Cole is pleased to return to Minneapolis/St. Paul and offer his take on the music of James Taylor. When asked to describe the impact JT’s songs have had on him personally, Jim commented, “James Taylor’s body of work from the late 1960’s to the present has provided the musical landscape not only for my generation, but for every generation since. Certainly therapeutic, often celebratory, and always communal, his gift lies in his ability to point out shared commonality, while minimizing our differences. In our currently polarized culture, in my opinion, that makes his music more relevant than ever.”
Tickets are $35.00 in advance and $40.00 at the door. Seating is general admission and the doors open at 6:30PM. Concessions, Mr. Chipper's fresh-baked cookies and merchandise will be for sale during the concert.
