The Wintonbury Coffeehouse E-mail Newsletter - May 2009

Join us on Saturday, May 9th, to hear Michael Kelly Blanchard, probably the 
best-known and best-loved of Connecticut's Christian musicians.  His trademark 
song, "Be Ye Glad," is familiar even to many who have never heard Michael.  
Once described by Noel Paul Stookey as "C.S. Lewis with a guitar," Michael 
Blanchard writes songs that reach out to people where they live - sometimes 
deeply touching, sometimes outrageously funny, and very often both.  We laugh 
along with him through songs about blind dates and child-rearing, and are moved 
almost to tears by songs of estrangement, loss, and the redemptive power of 
God's love.  Don't miss this opportunity to hear one of the finest Christian 
songwriters of our era.  You can visit Michael on the web at 
www.michaelkellyblanchard.com

We'll open the evening with a return appearance by singer and guitarist Joe 
Sanchez.  Joe is a San Antonio native currently studying at the University of 
Hartford, and he has a way of taking a song and making it his own.  We look 
forward to hosting him again on May 9th.

The Wintonbury Coffeehouse is held on the second Saturday of the month at 
Wintonbury Church, 54 Maple Avenue in Bloomfield.  Starting time is 7:30 p.m.  
There is no charge for admission or refreshments, but a $10 donation is 
suggested.
