Their concerts weave all these styles together in an experience that is sure to appeal to every type of music lover.
Tiffany Coburn has been called a singer’s singer! Her love of music is undeniable. Whether you hear her singing with Disney’s Voices of Liberty, a capella sensation Voctave, or performing her own concerts, your heart will be moved by her voice. She has toured with Larnelle Harris and Sandi Patty, just to name a few. She has appeared at the Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall. She represented the U.S. at the April Spring Friendship Festival in Pyongyang, North Korea, against 40 other countries and brought home First Place honors. And she recorded the theme song, “Share a Dream Come True” for Disney’s 100 Years of Magic, EPCOT’s “Tapestry of Dreams Parade” and Sea World’s “Turtle Trek”.
Songs that are mostly new, with age-old themes, Williamson Branch’s music is mostly bluegrass, sometimes country, often times gospel, but always fresh and exciting. Their vocals soar with a closeness that can only be found in family members. Their instrumentation is impressive, their laughter is contagious, their clog dancing is exhilarating, and their personalities are sparkling. Their music is rooted in tradition and cultivated with creativity.
Traci Nissley has served as the minster of music in several churches and is currently serving at The Village Church at Advent Christian Village in Dowling Park. She is an accomplished musician whose interest in music began as a young child. Traci began learning and studying the organ when she was eight, piano and French horn at 11, and solo handbell ringing at 15. Traci has performed with a myriad of ensembles, served as a church pianist for multiple churches, and on the French horn, played with the Raleigh Symphony, North Carolina Pops Symphony, and Atlanta Youth Symphony Orchestra. Traci is excited to share Classical and Christian music literature as part of Live! at Dowling Park and ACV’s Winter Retreat 2024.
The Scribe is described as “an unforgettable, dramatic, musical presentation of the life of Christ as seen through the eyes of a Roman centurion soldier, who himself becomes a believer through the testimony of Simon Peter.” It is performed by Dr. Paul Pitts, a Hollywood actor, Nashville recording artist, and New York Broadway entertainer. Dr. Pitts wraps up the character of Andronicus Capito in this unprecedented play. Dr. Pitts does not perform this play to entertain you, but brings, in The Scribe, a Biblical storyline that will change your life forever. Join us for a Maundy Thursday service you’ll not soon forget.
