"Shades of Time" returns to First Presbyterian


First Presbyterian Church is delighted to welcome back Shades of Time, who will perform a free concert on Saturday, November 23 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, and plays regularly at local venues, including an annual performance at the Crawford County Fair.

The program at First Presbyterian will showcase the group’s signature mix of swing, jazz, and hits from the Big Band era, with an occasional detour to the 1960s and 1970s. Last year's concert drew a nearly-full house, so come early to find a good seat!
