Admissions charge of $25 per adult, $15 per student, and free for children under age 12 will benefit the “St. Paul Family Fund”.   This fund was started by the women of St. Paul Lutheran Church of Flemington, and is designed to help families in financial crisis.  This fundraiser will introduce a new non-profit organization, “Mission Connect” that prepares teams of mentors who will be matched with families in need in Hunterdon County. These volunteer mentors will be able to provide families with the skills, encouragement and support they need as they strive towards independence within the greater community.

Musicians scheduled to perform include Chip and Annie Mergott, Roia Rafieyan, and John Kizzie.  Several talented artists have donated paintings, textile arts, and ceramic works to be sold during the evening with the proceeds going to the Family Fund.

CDs available at all events!

Please check back frequently, we are actively working on additional dates.

For bookings, contact Ed via Pleasant Run Music at (908) 284-9594 or e-mail to info@pleasantrunmusic.com

We are looking for opportunities to share our music and faith in a variety of venues, and to distribute the CD as widely as possible. Ed is prepared to perform his original Contemporary Christian music at house concerts*, coffeehouses and in concert setting, and to provide music for church services, retreats, and weddings.

*house concerts are kind of a new idea - you invite about 25 friends, provide some refreshments, and I do the rest.  All I ask is that I can offer the CDs for sale, and hopefully sell a few!

Ed is also available for entertainment ( a mix of live and DJ ) for parties, church suppers, socials and dances. Rates are reasonable and negotiable based on the nature of the event, and Ed is always willing to help support worthy charitable events and fundraisers.

Solo performances by Ed are the easiest to schedule, however with sufficient notice, a band of 2 to 4 pieces can be arranged. If your venue does not have its own sound equipment (microphones, mixing board, amplifier and speakers) this can be provided as well.
