On Sunday, Oct. 26, Bishop Hill Creative Commons welcomes acclaimed singer-songwriter, poet and painter Bruce Moon for an intimate evening of music, stories, and reflection.
A prolific and deeply introspective artist, Bruce Moon has released more than 32 LPs on Apple Music, Spotify and Pandora, and his creative output spans over 350 videos on YouTube.
A lifelong storyteller, Bruce’s music draws from his remarkable journey as a former ordained Methodist minister, art therapist and university professor. Having spent decades working with people in hospitals and classrooms, his songs give voice to real lives and emotions, seeking, as he says, “to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.”
Bruce’s performances blend humor, humanity and hard-won wisdom. One audience member described the experience perfectly: “Bruce’s songs and stories make me laugh, let me cry and push me to think about my life.”
Over the years, Bruce has performed in venues across the country and abroad, from public radio stations to Irish pubs, street festivals, and university stages. He has been a frequent and beloved performer at Bishop Hill Creative Commons and is currently working with a band on a new album slated for release in late 2025.
The evening begins at 6 p.m. with an optional community potluck dinner. Bring a dish to share if you’d like to join and the concert starts at 7 p.m. This is an all-ages event, with a suggested donation of $20–30.
Seating is limited. For tickets and more information please visit XRoadsCC.org/events.
