Chris Westfall Concert Benefits Ranch Hope

Hope United Methodist Church was the setting for "An Evening of Music to Benefit Ranch Hope" featuring Chris Westfall. "I cannot begin to tell you all how very excited I am to be a part of this event. I spent an afternoon last winter down at the ranch and at the Victory House.....what a moving experience," said Chris.

Chris invited members of the Boys and Girls Choir onstage to perform with him, and they exited to the sounds of a standing ovation!

In concert, Chris' style finds a balance of 'acoustic folk'. The clear tenor voice moves gently from familiar folk tunes to original interpretations of artists such as James Taylor and John Denver, and then to his own heartfelt compositions. What a wonderful message he shares with us in his introspective "I'm Coming Home" and his lyrical celebration of the holiday season with "Know It's Christmas". Hearing Chris in a live performance for the first time, people find themselves touched by his compassion. He encourages the audience to sing along…and by doing so, strangers become friends, brought together by the spirit of the music. With every song, Chris possesses the magical ability to hold the audience in his gentle grasp…making each listener feel he sings only for them, which, in truth, he does.
