SUMMARY:An Evening of Song and Story
DESCRIPTION:An Evening of Song and Story with Bruce Moon at Bishop Hill Creative Commons  \nOn Sunday\, October 26\, Bishop Hill Creative Commons welcomes acclaimed singer-songwriter\, poet\, and painter Bruce Moon for an intimate evening of music\, stories\, and reflection. The evening begins at 6 p.m. with an optional community potluck dinner—bring a dish to share if you’d like to join—and the concert starts at 7 p.m. This is an all-ages event\, with a suggested donation of $20–30. \nA prolific and deeply introspective artist\, Bruce Moon has released more than 32 LPs on Apple Music\, Spotify\, and Pandora\, and his creative output spans over 350 videos on YouTube. A lifelong storyteller\, Bruce’s music draws from his remarkable journey as a former ordained Methodist minister\, art therapist\, and university professor. Having spent decades working with people in hospitals and classrooms\, his songs give voice to real lives and emotions—seeking\, as he says\, “to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.” \nBruce’s performances blend humor\, humanity\, and hard-won wisdom. One audience member described the experience perfectly: “Bruce’s songs and stories make me laugh\, let me cry\, and push me to think about my life.” \nOver the years\, Bruce has performed in venues across the country and abroad—from public radio stations to Irish pubs\, street festivals\, and university stages. He has been a frequent and beloved performer at Bishop Hill Creative Commons and is currently working with a band on a new album slated for release in late 2025. \nJoin us for a night of heartfelt songs\, shared stories\, and community connection in the warm and welcoming setting of Bishop Hill Creative Commons.
