Maple Leaf Community Concert Series: Brandon and James
2022-05-10 19:00
The concert is located at Monmouth College’s historical Dahl Chapel, 700 E. Broadway, Monmouth, Illinois, which provides the audience with warm surroundings and amazing acoustics, which creates a remarkable, memorable concert experience! About Brandon and James: Described as a “powerhouse cello and vocal duo” (The Fight Magazine, Los Angeles), Branden & James bring the soulful timbre of the cello combined with emotional and powerful vocals, creating a sound that leaves audiences feeling moved and inspired. “…the always supportive, sometimes haunting power of the cello accompanying Branden’s voice solidifies the classical sound, adds new depth to the popular, and allows the audience to just sit back and take it in…so movingly, that you may forget to breathe!” says Paul Lisnek – Host of Broadway in Chicago Backstage.
