If you are looking for some live music, food trucks, vendors and fun activities for the kids, Sullivan First United Methodist Church has an event for you. They will host the Sullivan First Summer Music Festival on Saturday, July 24, from 3-8 p.m. outdoors under the recently constructed pavilion at the church which is located across from the Sullivan Firehouse.
There will be live music, food trucks, vendors, free fun activities for the kids, and three musical groups will perform including Jeff Mayberry, Collage of Faith and Mackville. Mayberry’s earliest and probably most influential memories of music come from the Baptist hymnal.
His first performance singing before an audience was at the Sullivan Southern Baptist Church. Mayberry sang acapella with his older sister. She became a great piano player, and they used to sing sacred and secular music together. His mother was an Elvis fan, and he remembers listening to those albums growing up.     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
