Singer/Songwriter Mallonee to Perform in Williamstown
11:25AM / Monday, February 09, 2009
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Singer/songwriter Bill Mallonee of the band Vigilantes of Love will perform a solo show Saturday, Feb. 21, at 8 at First Baptist Church.
Doors open at 7:30 and seating is limited; reservations are recommended through fbceventswilliamstown@gmail.com. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis.
There is no cover charge but the church will be accepting free-will donations to benefit the "Take and Eat" program that serves seniors in Williamstown.
Mallonee is described by Rolling Stone magazine as having "remained fascinated with the shadowy emotional toils and struggles inherent in the American experience, compelling, insightful, [he] continues to probe through Americana rock and roll proving that sometimes the only story worth telling is that of the journey." Paste Music Magazine, in a 2006 poll conducted by both writers and artists, listed the Athens, Ga., musician as No. 65 in its "100 Best Living Songwriters."
"We are very excited to host such an important songwriter," said the Rev. Peter Daniels, pastor. "It is a double benefit because we are also being given an opportunity to support the 'Take and Eat' program here in Williamstown."
First Baptist will be joining this existing program and will be helping to supply meals to approximately 75 seniors on the first Sunday of each month.
"We expect Bill to be a big draw so we encourage people to e-mail us soon so they can reserve their spot for the concert," advised Daniels. "Come on out and enjoy some incredible music and benefit a worthy cause."
