NOV 8 MAYVILLE, NY

Doerfel Family to Perform at Midweek Vespers
  Chautauqua¾ Hurlbut Community Church in Chautauqua Institution will  
feature The Doerfel Family at its “Midweek Vespers” worship service,  
Wednesday, November 8. The weekly family music and arts worship  
events will begin with a 5:30 pm dinner, with the service beginning  
at 6 pm.
The Doerfels are a real family band in every sense of the word.  
Headed by Mom and Dad, Tom and Cheryl Doerfel, the band incorporates  
every one of the 11-member family at some point in the show. They  
have played some of the best concert and festival venues in the  
country, including Chautauqua County’s own Mayville Bluegrass  
Festival, where band appeared with such bluegrass greats as Vassar  
Clements, Roland White, Chris Hillman, and Herb Pedersen.

Covering nearly all aspects of the Bluegrass genre, the Doerfels  
display expert musicianship and vocals, while leading the audience  
through an old-fashioned "living room" music experience that brings  
everything that a large, close family represents - from the tender to  
the chaotic.

The Midweek Vespers is a weekly music and arts-based worship service  
with a minimum of spoken word. It is presented every Wednesday in  
Hurlbut Church, Pratt at Scott Avenues, Chautauqua NY.  “Faith  
Weaver,” a children’s supervised bible experience, is provided  
separately during the service.

The community is welcome, free of charge, to every Vespers service  
and dinner. For information, visit www.hurlbutchurch.org or call
