Press release from RSG Music Inc.:

June 23, 2020

As part of its Summer Music on the Hill concert series, the Church of St. Andrew in Marblehead presents “On the Street Where You Live,” an outdoor concert featuring area vocalists Holly Cameron and Matt Arnold, accompanied by Mary Jodice, Sunday, July 12, at 7 p.m. The rain date is July 18.

Cameron and Arnold will sing selections from the Great American Songbook, show tunes, and other popular favorites. The couple, who have performed classical, jazz, popular, and sacred music at a number of venues in the Boston area, have recently been broadcasting a series of eclectic concerts, “Live from the Coronacabana,” on Facebook Live.

Jodice, who is Director of Music at St. Andrew’s, says, “We are excited to present a safe, socially distanced, outside concert of toe-tapping popular music and show tunes! By presenting this outdoor concert, we are fighting back for music, which has suffered during the pandemic. We all need music in our lives to make these days more tolerable.”

The concert will be in the church parking lot, which will have chalk markings indicating safe chair placement. Please bring your own chairs.

Concertgoers will be asked to wear masks; the performers will be at a safe distance. No programs will be distributed.

A goodwill offering of $20 is requested, payable at the event by check or cash, or in advance by check. If paying cash, please make every attempt to have the exact amount. Make checks payable to Church of St. Andrew, with “outdoor concert” on the memo line. Proceeds will benefit the church’s music program.

The Church of St. Andrew (www.standrewsmhd.org) is at 135 Lafayette Street (Route 114), on the Marblehead-Salem line. Because the parking lot will be used for the concert, please park on Lafayette Street or on Robert Road (behind the church). Concertgoers with mobility issues may park in the rear lot of the church, against the fence; please enter via Robert Road.
