APCT - JACK DESBOIS

Album Project & Concert Tour

My Brother, My Sister, My Kin

I recorded a solo album this summer 2024, to be released in October. It's a mix of traditional Celtic, English, and American folk songs; Christian songs and hymns; and my own originals.

I'm also planning a concert tour to share the music from my album, starting fall 2024. I'll be traveling to churches and other venues to play for intimate audiences in beautiful sanctuaries and halls.

I'm looking for churches and other venues to host concerts from fall 2024 to summer 2025. These concerts are free to church communities; I do not charge a fee to the host church, nor do I sell tickets. (For venues over an hour drive from Topsfield, MA, I request a travel stipend from the host church.) To fund this ministry, I will sell albums and accept freewill donations at each concert on my tour. Please contact me about playing a concert at your church or venue.
