This Sunday at First Church - 9:45 am

HOT JAZZ for a COLD MORNING
Heartbeat
Dixieland Jazz Band

The particular highlight of Sunday’s service at First Church will be MUSIC, of course! as First Church again welcomes the Heartbeat Dixieland Jazz Band. Heartbeat has been dubbed “New England’s Most Lovable Jazz Band” and is made up of a handful of musicians with many years of experience playing Dixieland, as well as other types of music.

Bill Logozzo is the founder of Heartbeat and husband of First Church Music Minister Shari Lucas. Bill didn’t start playing drums until age 45, but he learned from great teachers such as Gene Bozzi, Sal Ranniello, and Art Perretta. He played with several bands before forming Heartbeat Dixieland Jazz Band. Bill says this about Heartbeat's music: “...it’s like a direct heartbeat to your soul.”

Dixieland jazz: Perfect for worship on a winter morning. Heartbeat's prelude starts at 9:45 am. Come listen and enjoy the service, then stay for coffee and conversation in the Parish Hall.
