Join us to celebrate the release of the debut CD of The Whitney Project led by Wilmington’s own Jonathan Whitney. The album documents the culmination of a 7 year residency at the Episcopal Church of Saints Andrew and Matthews where Whitney focused on writing compositions that responded to life in Wilmington, and gave space for contemplating this moment in history. Included in this release is a suite of works written through a collaboration with local folk artist Eunice Lafate.

The Band:

Greg Riley, woodwinds

Joe Anderson, trumpet and E.V. I.

Tom Palmer, piano, synth, and percussion

Rob Swanson, bass

Jonathan Whitney, drums and musical director

Jea Street, Jr, vocals

Chris Devany and Pape Demba Samb, percussion
