Brass & Blues on the Green in Collinsville

The Valley Brass teams up with jazz/blues ensemble FOTB (Friends of the Bridegroom) on the grounds of Collinsville Congregational Church on Sunday, August 19th from 2:30pm -4:30pm for a free outdoor concert. Visitors are also invited to make their own free Canton Creamery Ice Cream sundaes and enjoy free balloons, face painting, and gifts while they enjoy the show.
This year, FOTB (Friends of the Bridegroom) will feature renowned blues guitarist and singer XY Eli (AKA Eli Williams). XY Eli will join Jay North and his band, who lead contemporary worship at Collinsville Congregational Church twice a month. The Valley Brass, a quintet from the Farmington Valley Band, will also play a set for listeners.
“I think this blend of different music will be inspiring for anyone of any age who attends,” stated Rev. Jim Wheeler, Pastor of Collinsville Congregation Church. “We are so excited to have formed this partnership to offer a memorable event for the community.”
