Ben Grace and Heatherlyn

05/17/2017 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

On Wednesday, May 17, at 7::00 p.m., Two Rivers United Methodist Church will host a concert with Heatherlyn and Ben Grace. The admission to the concert will be “pay as you wish.” Guests will be asked to pay their admission after the concert, paying as much as they see fit.

This is Heatherlyn’s third trip to the Quad Cities, appearing previously at a house concert, the 2015 Lion and Lamb Festival in Milan, and a 2015 concert at Two Rivers Church. Her song “Ever,” is a fan-favorite that include the lyric, “May we choose courageously, may we hope defiantly, may we love outrageously, and walk on lightly in humility.”

Heatherlyn and Ben Grace are going to embark on a special tour of Illinois called “10 Days in May.”

Ben Grace and Heatherlyn are teaming up for the 10 Day in May Tour to share beauty through a concert of music, story, and poetry! Here’s a little about each of them.

Ben Grace is an Australian songwriter who lives in Brooklyn NY with his wife Sara Ann and adopted “Brooklyn Terrier” Gigi. Persistent and prolific Ben has had more than 50 songs released over the last 20 years and has written in a range of styles from power pop to country. In late 2011 he left his hometown of Sydney to pursue cowriting in the US and has hosted a songwriting community that meets monthly in his apartment for the last five years. Ben has a passion for local craft beer, good stories, messy community, and better questions.

Heatherlyn is an international troubadour, a singer/song-artist with soul, roots, and rock vibes infused throughout her songs. More than anything, Heatherlyn believes in the power of Love.

Deeply connected to her own story and compassionate toward the stories we all carry; her soulful, honest voice resonates with people from many various walks of life.

Heatherlyn enjoys painting, yoga, and origami, sipping whiskey, and getting to be a witness of people coming alive with laughter or a new found passion.

Originally from Maine and having made the MidWest homebase for the past 14 years, Heatherlyn is excited to share this part of the U.S. with friend and collaborator Ben Grace and for this part of the world to meet him and his music!
