Everyone knows it. The church on the corner of Greenville Avenue and McCommas is widely recognized in Dallas with its unique Spanish architecture.
Now the church, Unity Church of Christianity, will be the venue for the new Greenville Avenue Music Sanctuary, a series of Friday or Saturday night concerts featuring a variety of local talent.
The shows will be scheduled every 6 to 8 weeks, according to Rev. Steve Colladay, minister at Unity, with a portion of each concert proceeds donated to a local charity.
“Unity on Greenville,” says Rev. Colladay, “is committed to serving our community. We believe offering quality music, support for a local charity, in an alcohol-free, non-smoking environment meets a need in Dallas. A sanctuary in the midst of the busyness of the metroplex. We envision an eclectic mix of music—jazz, blues, folk, classical and more. Who knows—maybe even a polka band.”
JIGSAW is talent rich, blending a large variety of instruments and vocal harmonies. The trio collectively plays flute, guitar, mandolin, banjo, whistle, fiddle, concertina, bodhran and vocals.
As the name implies, JIGSAW interlocks multiple talents to form one of Texas’ finest ensembles playing traditional, authentic Irish music.
Kevin Alewine and Peggy and Ken Fleming have played together for nearly two decades as a trio beginning with Waifs & Strays and presently under the name JIGSAW. Their spirited performance of traditional Irish music has always been their mainstay and, the three are considered among the best traditional players in the region.
