Raising the roof for Housing for New Hope, a music concert fundraiser
St. Stephens Episcopal Church Fellowship Hall
82 Kimberley Drive, Durham
Doors open at 7:30 p.mŠMaudlins on at 8ŠStella around 9.

Tickets $15 at the door.

Stella is seven a cappella-singing women, with free ranging musical
enthusiasms, including doo-wop, pop, gospel, Celtic, traditional/folk, and
more.      Stella reveals what has been described by one local house concert
promoter, as ³astounding, complex harmonies in their combined a cappella
voices² and offers messages of strength, humor, and a little bit of whimsy.

The Maudlin Brothers have played traditional music; uplifting a cappella
gospel; the tantalizing harmony yodeling and cowboy songs.  Get ready to
laugh, cry, dance, and even sing along.

Housing for New Hope is ending homelessness one valuable person at a time.
The money raised at this concert will be used for a new initiative to reduce
street homelessness in Durham.  Learn more at www.housingfornewhope.org.
