Noted singer/songwriters Bob Bennett, Randy Stonehill and Buck Storm will do an all-acoustic concert on Saturday, Nov. 8, at Metropolitan Tabernacle in Chattanooga.
Review for Bob Bennett, Randy Stonehill and Buck Storm:
Grammy-nominated artist Randy Stonehill, known as much for his manic onstage humor as his popular folk/rock songs and blistering guitar work, was a pioneer in contemporary Christian music. His 1976 album "Welcome to Paradise" is noted as a landmark release in the genre, and his career has involved collaborations with other CCM talents including Phil Keaggy and Amy Grant. Stonehill is still as passionate as ever about sharing truth through music.
Bob Bennett, also an influential figure in CCM, is a master guitarist and storyteller. CCM Magazine acclaimed his 1982 album Matters of the Heart as "Album of the Year," ranking it among the top 20 contemporary Christian albums of all time. His poetic lyrical talents, fingerstyle guitar expertise, and self-deprecating sense of humor have won him loyal fans as well as opportunities to work with the likes of David Wilcox and Nashville hit writer Don Henry.
Buck Storm, the "young pup" of the three, is recognized as a songwriter’s songwriter and has become a favorite both as a concert performer and worship leader in venues around the world. "I like to write songs about cities and small towns, the ghosts that hover around the edges, dreams and dreamers, families, broken and whole, sin, redemption and the struggle in between, love, squalor, motels, churches, kings, and the common man.... Whatever it is it's from the heart and as honest as I can make it."
Metro Tab is at 2101 West Shepherd Road, near Exit 1A off Highway 153. Start time is 7 p.m. Admission is free and a love offering will be taken.
