Angelica Grim,
at 17 years old, has been singing since she was able to talk. Taught to sing by
her musician dad, she got into bluegrass at the ripe age of 3. Picking up the
guitar when she was 13 to accompany herself, she is also now a
multi-instrumentalist and songwriter. Since her first performance in 2003, she’s
performed with this likes of Rhonda Vincent and the Rage, The Infamous
Stringdusters, Randy Kohrs, Marty Raybon, and James King. Raised around the
California Bluegrass Association, Angelica has become a part in the leadership
of the association and is currently their Teenage Ambassador. Said to be the
"little girl with the big voice" Angelica's music is traditional bluegrass with
a new twist.
With an average age of 15 years,
the Doerfels are a real
family band in every sense of the word. Headed by TJ (banjo), Kimberly (fiddle),
Ben (guitar), Eddy (mandolin), and Joey (bass), the band also incorporates every
one of the 11-member family at some point in the show. They have played some of
the best concert and festival venues in the country, including Chautauqua
County’s own Mayville Bluegrass Festival, where band appeared with such
bluegrass greats as Vassar Clements, Roland White, Chris Hillman, and Herb
Pedersen.
Covering nearly all aspects of the
Bluegrass genre, the Doerfels display expert musicianship and vocals, while
leading the audience through an old-fashioned "living room" music experience
that brings everything that a large, close family represents - from the tender
to the chaotic.
The Midweek Vespers is a weekly
music and arts-based worship service with a minimum of spoken word. It is
presented every Wednesday in Hurlbut Church, Pratt at Scott Avenues, Chautauqua
NY. “Faith Weaver,” a children’s supervised bible experience, is provided
separately during the service.
The community is welcome, free of
charge, to every Vespers service and dinner. For information, visit
