As a special treat at the beginning of MVUC’s new church year, Melissa Cox and her band will present a benefit concert for Beacon House following the Ingathering Picnic on Sept. 9. Melissa plays guitar, mandolin, and ukulele and is a classically trained vocalist. She and members of her talented band, who are just finishing their East Coast summer tour, perform combinations of folk, rock, classical, Celtic, and world fusion music. Her songs highlight peace, love, and social justice. Great fun for the entire family!
The concert is open to the public, and all are welcome. A goodwill offering will be taken to benefit Beacon House, which provides mentoring, athletic, and nutritional programs to at-risk children in the Edgewood Terrace community in Washington, D.C.
