SUMMARY:Singer-Storyteller Jack DesBois In Concert
DESCRIPTION:Acoustic Christian Music for the Whole Family in Haverhill\, MA \nTopsfield-based classical and folk musician Jack DesBois will give a free-to-the-public concert at Ward Hill Church of Christ the King in Haverhill\, MA\, on Sunday\, November 16 at 4:00pm\, featuring music from his 2024 debut solo album “My Brother\, My Sister\, My Kin.” \nDrawing from his backgrounds as a classically trained oratorio soloist\, a scholar of the traditional folk songs of New England\, a Christian poet and storyteller\, and an admirer of a good song well sung\, Jack has woven together an album of simply set and shining gems. His selections lead the listener on a journey from the craggy shores and enchanted rivers of the British Isles to the beckoning forests and mountain ranges of America\, from the soul-stirring poetry of the classic hymns to the truth-seeking scratches of his own pen. \nThe album’s title is a nod to the words of Christ from Matthew 12:50: “For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven\, the same is my brother\, and sister\, and mother.” Family is both a theme throughout the album and the backbone without which these recordings wouldn’t exist. \n“These songs have been germinating in me for years\,” writes Jack in the liner notes of the album\, “decades in some cases—but it is the environment of home\, where family surrounds and supports me\, that has allowed the songs to flourish. They’ve grown from the fertile soil of family values\, the diligent watering and weeding of practice and critique\, and the warm light of Christ. And here they are\, picked and washed and ready for you to enjoy. God bless you\, my brother\, my sister\, my kin!” \n“My Brother\, My Sister\, My Kin” is available on streaming platforms including Spotify and YouTube\, and CDs will be available for sale at the concert. \n~ ~ ~\nWhen: Sunday\, November 16\, 2025 at 4:00pm\nWhere: Ward Hill Church of Christ the King\, 63 L Street\, Ward Hill (Haverhill)\, MA\nRun time: approx. 75 minutes\nFree\, All Are Welcome \nCDs will be for sale\, and freewill donations will be gratefully accepted for Ward Hill Church’s window restoration fund. \nSponsored by DesBois Tutoring & Enrichment\, a family-run academic tutoring and educational enrichment service based in Topsfield\, MA. \njackdesbois.com ~ desboistutoring.org ~ wardhillchurch.wordpress.com
