About The Show:
Join us for "Night of Hope" on February 16th, 2024, featuring uplifting music and messages. Night of Hope is a collaborative effort with Boone community youth groups and at the Boone High School Auditorium. This event is free; an all-ages show, and open to anyone in Boone and the surrounding communities. This year we are excited to have the following artists attend:
Paul Demer is a singer-songwriter, record producer, outreach musician, and worship leader.
Paul connects with diverse audiences in living rooms, churches, nursing homes, and hospitals in his hometown of Dallas, TX and across the country. Passionate about the craft of songwriting, he has released several albums of original music, and was recently selected as a finalist in Kerrville Folk Festival's New Folk songwriting competition. In addition to producing his own records, Paul has produced over 75 songs for fellow singer-songwriters. He has played over 1,500 concerts in local nursing homes and hospitals, in partnership with the Dallas-Fort Worth non-profit Texas Winds Musical Outreach, and he currently serves as a Music Minister at St. Matthew's Episcopal Cathedral. When not making music, Paul and his wife, Trisha, enjoy reading, spending time outside, and good conversation.
Graham Jones is a Texan singer-songwriter who traces the story of the gospel with thoughtful lyrics and rich melodies. Inspired by six-string storytellers like Andrew Peterson, Jon Foreman, John Mayer, his music is honest, joyful, and contagious with longing.
His debut solo record The Story’s Still Alive (2020) explores valleys of darkness, grief, and doubt with eyes lifted up to the hope of redemption in Christ. The following year, he released his second album, Good News, Great Joy—a concept record for Advent that tells the story of Christ’s coming from Luke 1-2. 2023 saw the release of two singles, “Grateful” and a new setting of Emmanuel Sibomana’s great hymn, “O How the Grace of God Amazes Me.”
Graham serves as the worship pastor of The Fields Church. He enjoys movie scores, fantasy novels, games (video, board, and D&D), and most of all, chocolate chip cookies.
He lives in Arlington, TX with his wife Bethany, their son Luke, and their golden retriever Daisy.
We hope you will join us for an evening of worship, music, and connecting with others in Boone and the surrounding community.
