Singer, songwriter and storyteller Daryl Mosley will perform in Kewanee on Sunday, August 11 at the Kewanee United Methodist Church.

Mosley has been sharing his songs and stories with America for over three decades. A frequent performer on “The Grand Ole Opry,” Mosley has also appeared at the famous Bluebird Cafe and his touring schedule includes 150 concerts a year.

Mosley has received three “Song of the Year” awards for tunes he has written and 10 of his songs have made it to number one. In addition Mosely has been named “Songwriter of the Year” three times.

His songs have been recorded by dozens of artists ranging from Bluegrass legend Bobby Osborne to Country star Lynn Anderson to Southern Gospel’s The Booth Brothers, and have been featured on television shows ranging from “American Idol” to “The View.” One of his best-known songs, “(Ask the Blind Man) He Saw It All,” was named one of the top Southern Gospel songs of all time.

“I just write and sing songs about real life and real people; songs about faith and home and community are the foundation of my music because those are the things that are most precious to me,” Mosley said.

Next month’s local concert will be an intimate opportunity to hear his songs of life and faith as well as the entertaining stories of the people and events that inspired them.

The concert, which will be held at 9 a.m., is free to the public. For additional information, contact Patty Lindley at (502) 262-0428.
