Zephaniah Records presents:

SINGING IN THE PARK
The New Kensington Inspirational Music Festival
At Memorial Park in New Kensington, PA.
Friday night, July 23rd, 6:30pm until 10:00pm
Saturday, July 24th, 12:00 noon until 10:00pm

This FREE event for the entire family will feature outstanding musicians and songwriters from six states sharing original songs in a relaxed outdoor setting. 

 The festival begins Friday evening, July 23rd, at 6:30pm.  Lynn Badamo will be sharing uplifting songs from her recently completed CD, "Joy."  A favorite at many Pittsburgh area coffeehouses, Lynn’s music will inspire and delight all.  Lynn says, "I pray only for the opportunity to share the songs God has given me with a wide variety of audiences, young and old alike. To let them know of God’s love for them no matter where they find themselves in their lives and to worship the one and only living God, Jesus Christ, God’s Son!!!"

Following Lynn, Edenlight a husband and wife duo from Conneaut will bring their own special brand of music that focuses on the simple beauty of acoustic guitar and passionate vocals.  Dave and Sue Bicko founded Saint Peter’s Vision in 1997 and recorded and released a CD of original material entitled "Half" with them in 2000. Saint Peter’s Vision eventually evolved into Sevenwise, a band that Sue and Dave continue to perform and record with.

We are also very blessed to present the music of Bob D’Antoni from Bel Air, MD.  Bob has served  both as a minister and business owner for many years.  He has endured the tests and trials that shape a man’s life and emerged rejoicing and victorious.  His songs reflect his deep love and total dependence on God.  His new CD, "Dawn Is Near," has been used by International Care, Inc., to raise money to help provide a way for international orphans to be adopted by loving families.  Equally skilled on guitar or keyboards, and with a truly beautiful voice,  Bob loves the Pittsburgh area and was a crowd favorite at last year’s inaugural festival.
 

On Saturday, July 24th,  beginning at 10:30am, there will be continuous music until 10pm, featuring many fine musicians from the area, and from Ohio, New Jersey, Maryland, and Illinois as well.  The musical flow begins with masterful guitarist John Craig, whose virtuosity and versatility are sure to delight.  Then the singing begins, an entire afternoon and evening as local and visiting musicians share original songs to encourage, uplift,  inspire, and warm your heart.

Rounding out the opening night lineup is a scintillating sextet from Ashtabula, Ohio.  Companions of the Lamb is a unique high energy group consisting of three married couples, and featuring a wide variety of instruments and sounds, including keyboards, guitars, bass, drums, and horns.  While totally involved in their own community, these six minstrels have felt the call of the Lord to take the new music to the people outside the walls of their church.  We’re excited to have them back.

The musicians include  Sarah Wilkins & John Craig, Tony Mator and family,
Pamela Townsend, Gerry Cramer, Jim Rearick, Michael Mrasz, Grant Van Leuven,  Dyana Dennis, Paul Blackham, Brooke Pinney & Julie Painter, Companions of the Lamb,   Tammi Waller, Rob Jennings and Genesis, Rick Moskovitz, Jeremy Rochford, Joy Kitay, Bob Fagin, Bob D'Antoni, Crista Brooks, Carmen Butler,  and David Benrexi & Friends of Messiah.

The uniqueness of this music festival is that all the musicians will be sharing their own original inspirational songs, the songs that mean the most to them.  Many CDs and videos will be given away during the festival.  No one will leave empty-hearted.  This is a FREE event for the whole family.  Come and be refreshed by the wonderful songs that God is bringing to the world as an expression of His love.  Bring someone you care about.  And may God put a song in your heart. This is a FREE event for the whole family.  Come and be refreshed by the wonderful songs that God is bringing to the world as an expression of His love.
