Ginny Owens will be in concert at Village Chapel Presbyterian Church on Saturday, November 12th from 6pm to – 9pm

---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Nana <swalker410@gmail.com>
Date: Wed, Nov 2, 2011 at 4:06 PM
Subject: Information from the Presbytery of WV
To: carlawv+owner@googlegroups.com


Forrest Palmer, Interim Executive Presbyter for the Presbytery of WV asked me to ask if you would be willing to post the following on your group:




Please share the following information with your church, friends and
any and all contacts.  This will be a great event and we want to get
the word out to as many people as possible.

The Award winning contemporary Christian recording artist, Ginny Owens
will be in concert at Village Chapel Presbyterian Church on Saturday,
November 12th from 6pm to – 9pm and she will be speaking and singing
during morning worship at Bream Memorial Presbyterian Church on
Sunday, November 13th

You must purchase tickets in advance for the Saturday night
performance at http://www.eventbrite.com/event/2320801580

There is something a bit enchanting about sitting across the table
from Dove Award winning singer/songwriter, Ginny Owens. Those
sparking, sky-blue liquid eyes that you know can't see you, seem to
see inside you. Her voice is soft, yet potent and engaging; some might
call it lyrical. She speaks with the same confidentiality and
vulnerability that have made her music a fan favorite for nearly
thirteen years.

Today, there is a barely contained enthusiasm in the undertones of her
words. She is releasing a new album, and her excitement is palpable.
"I've been working on this project for two years," Ginny declares.
"I've never worked on any project that long. I don't have that kind of
patience." Almost as a shy afterthought she adds, "I really like it."

Like it, indeed. What's not to like? Whimsically titled, Get In, I'm
Driving, Ginny's new CD is smoky and smooth, jazz-tinged R&B shot
through with pop music sensibilities and wrapped around Ginny's
patented brand of sensitive, insightful lyrics.

"I released my final record with Rocketown Records six years ago,"
Ginny muses. "I was grateful to have been with that label for eight
years, but the times they were a-changin,' as the saying goes.

"Label marketing execs were scratching their heads trying to figure
out how to sell records, but I thought it was an exciting time to be
an independent artist. The more that people went to the Internet for
their music, the more opportunities there were for artists like me."

As an independent artist, Ginny had the freedom to create in a way
that she hadn't before. She was able to make the kind of music she
enjoys listening to; the kind of music she grew up listening to; the
kind of music real people in the real world enjoy listening to.

"I grew up listening to R&B, hip hop and soul. I got into jazz while I
was in college, and I'll admit there is a part of me that loves
straight pop music. When I think about making music for other people,
I try to weave a message of hope into music that is accessible to all
types of listeners. My dream has always been to be versatile enough
musically to play a club on Saturday night and a church on Sunday
morning…and why not?  People in both places love music and are
desperate for hope."

To help shape the new record, Ginny called on LA-based sonic
architect, David Das, whose credits include work with Rebecca St.
James, Katharine McPhee and BarlowGirl.  Ginny felt his cinematic film
score background, as well as the laid back LA environment, would lend
a freshness to the project.

She was right, but as production wrapped, she sought one more expert
musical opinion to make the project all it could be. Ginny called on
longtime friend and Grammy Award-winning producer Monroe Jones (Third
Day, Mark Schultz, Holly Williams) to help bring the record to a
strong finish. "Monroe produced my first three albums and gets my
music more than anyone else I've ever known. He knew exactly what
touches were needed to complete the project."

The final product is an eclectic collection of eleven songs that take
you on an adventure of the soul. From the thudding, breathy opening
strains of the title cut, to the lilting, pop-inflected "Mystery of
Grace," and playful, piano-driven "Before You Fly," Ginny injects fun
and fetching melodies with thought-provoking lyrics to remind
listeners that life is a journey; one that usually involves a lot of
falling down and getting back up again.

Consequently, Get In, I'm Driving doesn't shy away from Ginny's
melancholy side. Tunes like "Rain" examine the inevitable pain that
comes with broken relationships, and "Higher Ground" casts an
unflinching eye at the realities of life."Nearly every song on this
record was its own writing process. I began writing many of them soon
after leaving Rocketown, then during my season of living in New York
City, and most recently while taking care of my mom during her battle
with cancer. Most of them weren't completed until I came back to
Nashville and began processing all that I'd been through."

But she is just as likely to turn yearning into joy with songs like
the heartbreakingly beautiful piano-ballad, "Joined At The Heart," or
bluesy, R&B number, "Daughter of Destiny."

The songs on Get In, I'm Driving might be among the most personal of
Ginny's career. She says it's almost like reading pages of her diary,
complete with the heartaches and the triumphs.

"I am confident in where God has me right now, and I am at peace," she
smiles. "I hope the truth in these songs can communicate hope to
people who are looking for it, and maybe even to those who are not."

Reminder: Upgrade tonight!

Does your God-concept need an upgrade?

 A course taught by Rabbi Jim Cohn

on selected Wednesday evenings, 7:00-8:30

at Temple Israel, 2312 Kanawha Blvd. E.

Open to the public

 

Rabbi Jim Cohn will teach an Adult Education course starting October 26, using Rabbi Jamie Korngold's The God Upgrade as the text. The course is open to the public.

Ginny Owens in Concert - November 12, 2011

Subject: Ginny Owens in Concert - November 12, 2011

 

 

Please share the following and attached information with your church, friends and any and all contacts.  This will be a great event and we want to get the word out to as many people as possible. 

 

The Award winning contemporary Christian recording artist, Ginny Owens will be in concert at Village Chapel Presbyterian Church on Saturday, November 12^th from 6pm to – 9pm and she will be speaking and singing during morning worship at Bream Memorial Presbyterian Church on Sunday, November 13^th

 

You can purchase tickets for the Saturday night performance at http://www.eventbrite.com/event/2320801580

 

 

There is something a bit enchanting about sitting across the table from Dove Award winning singer/songwriter, Ginny Owens. Those sparking, sky-blue liquid eyes that you know can't see you, seem to see inside you. Her voice is soft, yet potent and engaging; some might call it lyrical. She speaks with the same confidentiality and vulnerability that have made her music a fan favorite for nearly thirteen years.

 

Today, there is a barely contained enthusiasm in the undertones of her words. She is releasing a new album, and her excitement is palpable. "I've been working on this project for two years," Ginny declares. "I've never worked on any project that long. I don't have that kind of patience." Almost as a shy afterthought she adds, "I really like it."

 

Like it, indeed. What's not to like? Whimsically titled, Get In, I'm Driving, Ginny's new CD is smoky and smooth, jazz-tinged R&B shot through with pop music sensibilities and wrapped around Ginny's patented brand of sensitive, insightful lyrics.

 

"I released my final record with Rocketown Records six years ago," Ginny muses. "I was grateful to have been with that label for eight years, but the times they were a-changin,' as the saying goes.

 

"Label marketing execs were scratching their heads trying to figure out how to sell records, but I thought it was an exciting time to be an independent artist. The more that people went to the Internet for their music, the more opportunities there were for artists like me."

 

As an independent artist, Ginny had the freedom to create in a way that she hadn't before. She was able to make the kind of music she enjoys listening to; the kind of music she grew up listening to; the kind of music real people in the real world enjoy listening to.

 

"I grew up listening to R&B, hip hop and soul. I got into jazz while I was in college, and I'll admit there is a part of me that loves straight pop music. When I think about making music for other people, I try to weave a message of hope into music that is accessible to all types of listeners. My dream has always been to be versatile enough musically to play a club on Saturday night and a church on Sunday morning…and why not?  People in both places love music and are desperate for hope."

 

To help shape the new record, Ginny called on LA-based sonic architect, David Das, whose credits include work with Rebecca St. James, Katharine McPhee and BarlowGirl.  Ginny felt his cinematic film score background, as well as the laid back LA environment, would lend a freshness to the project.

 

She was right, but as production wrapped, she sought one more expert musical opinion to make the project all it could be. Ginny called on longtime friend and Grammy Award-winning producer Monroe Jones (Third Day, Mark Schultz, Holly Williams) to help bring the record to a strong finish. "Monroe produced my first three albums and gets my music more than anyone else I've ever known. He knew exactly what touches were needed to complete the project."

 

The final product is an eclectic collection of eleven songs that take you on an adventure of the soul. From the thudding, breathy opening strains of the title cut, to the lilting, pop-inflected "Mystery of Grace," and playful, piano-driven "Before You Fly," Ginny injects fun and fetching melodies with thought-provoking lyrics to remind listeners that life is a journey; one that usually involves a lot of falling down and getting back up again.

 

Consequently, Get In, I'm Driving doesn't shy away from Ginny's melancholy side. Tunes like "Rain" examine the inevitable pain that comes with broken relationships, and "Higher Ground" casts an unflinching eye at the realities of life."Nearly every song on this record was its own writing process. I began writing many of them soon after leaving Rocketown, then during my season of living in New York City, and most recently while taking care of my mom during her battle with cancer. Most of them weren't completed until I came back to Nashville and began processing all that I'd been through."

 

But she is just as likely to turn yearning into joy with songs like the heartbreakingly beautiful piano-ballad, "Joined At The Heart," or bluesy, R&B number, "Daughter of Destiny."

 

The songs on Get In, I'm Driving might be among the most personal of Ginny's career. She says it's almost like reading pages of her diary, complete with the heartaches and the triumphs.

 

"I am confident in where God has me right now, and I am at peace," she smiles. "I hope the truth in these songs can communicate hope to people who are looking for it, and maybe even to those who are not."
