Photos from "Shades of Time" concert



A sizeable audience came out to hear Shades of Time perform on a cold, wet evening.



Director Alan Amy led the group in hits of the Big Band era, with a few diversions to the 1960s and 1970s.



Vocalists Sue Kipp and Shawn Amy treated the crowd to a few of their favorite ballads.




Thank you to Shades of Time for a fantastic evening of music!

Shades of Time


The First Presbyterian Church of Meadville hosts a free performance by Shades of Time on Saturday, November 17 at 7:00 PM.

Shades of Time was organized in 1988 by Alan Amy with the aim of bringing together alumni musicians from the Townville/Maplewood school district. Today the band comprises 15 musicians from Crawford, Mercer, and Venango counties, specializing in music of the Big Band era with an occasional detour to the 1960s or 1970s. They have performed at many local venues, including the Crawford County Fair.

The program at First Presbyterian will showcase the talents of two vocal soloists: Sue Kipp singing “Let’s Fall in Love”, “All of Me”, and “It Had To Be You”; and Shawn Amy singing “Summertime”, “The Way You Look Tonight”, and “Don’t Get Around Much Anymore”.
