Description

Easter: Stories & Songs celebrates the events of a few days in the life of Jesus, events that changed the world. (Free ticket required) Bill Wolf and friends are back in Knoxville performing Easter: Stories and Songs for the first time since 2019. Bill has lived and made music in Knoxville for over 20 years. He is a published songwriter who has shared the stage with international and national artists the likes of Mia Fields, Jason Ingram, Chris August, Charlie Hall, and Paul Baloche as well as local and regional artists such as Jill Andrews, John Jackson, and Will Reagan of United Pursuit. In 2010, Wolf released the album Easter: Stories & Songs – ten songs that combine brilliant folk-style musicianship with introspective, thoughtful storytelling to present an intimate look at the humanity and divinity of Jesus Christ during the week of the crucifixion. With guitars, piano, mandolin, hammered dulcimer, penny whistle, organ, even an accordion, Easter: Stores & Songs brilliantly tells the story of Jesus during his Passion Week by hearkening back to the humility of His birth and peering forward to the glory of His Kingdom. In the years since its release, Bill and his band of stellar area musicians have performed these songs in colleges and coffeehouses, in state-of-the-art megachurches and small country churches, in cathedrals and on front porches, in concert halls and from inside the walls of a maximum-security prison. In every setting, the songs and the performance are a powerful reminder that there is no place the story of the resurrection is out of place. Wolf is not only a songwriter and artist but a scholar and theologian, currently serving as a professor of Worship & Theology at Johnson University. Both his careful attention to detail and his gift as a bard are woven throughout Easter Stories & Songs, which continues to engage audiences with its beauty and candor. Easter Stories and Songs is a stirring meditation on the dawning of God’s Kingdom on earth through the victory of life over death.
