Easter joy continues with the upbeat sounds of the Killinger Big Band with Jazz and Blues vocalist Tina Haase Findlay. The band is under the direction of Westminster’s own Karla Killinger. Karla is a third-generation music educator, having played in her father’s dance, show, and circus bands, and has a passion for sharing the music and legacy of the Killinger Library.

This year, the service will include big-band favorites, such as Duke Ellington’s “Things Ain’t What They Used To Be”, Al Jolson’s “Me and My Shadow”, B.B. King’s “Everyday I Have the Blues”, Stevie Wonder’s “You Are the Sunshine of My Life”, Louis Armstrong’s “When You’re Smiling”, and Louis Prima’s “Sing, Sing, Sing”. 

Jazz, like faith, tells the story of life – its struggles, its joys, and the hope that carries us forward. This is one of the most memorable and energetic worship services of the year! As an additional treat, Tina Haase Findlay, the Jazz and Blues vocalist, and Nick Rueckert, the piano soloist, will be performing after Worship at the Deacons’ Breakfast as well!
