Opening Doors Project presents Vance Gilbert / Alastair Moock: Concert + Conversation

Opening Doors presents a FREE concert + conversation with Vance Gilbert and Alastair Moock at The First Congregational Church of Reading. (In-person and online.) Vance Gilbert has travelled the world, sharing stages with the likes of Aretha Franklin, Shawn Colvin, and George Carlin. He is a performer who defies stereotype: “I’m Black, I sing, I play an acoustic guitar, and I don’t play the blues,” he says. Dirty Linen describes him simply as “among the quintessential musical poets.” Alastair Moock has shared stages with Arlo Guthrie, Taj Mahal, Ramblin’ Jack Elliot, and Greg Brown. The Boston Globe called him “one of the town’s best and most adventurous songwriters” and The Washington Post declares “every song a gem.” When The Opening Doors Project kicked off its online concert and conversation series in 2021 – a series intended to model productive interracial conversations around race and identity – the very first person Alastair called was Vance Gilbert. “I knew I needed a friend to help me learn how to do this,” Moock said at the time. Three years later, Opening Doors is thriving and these two old friends are reuniting to talk and perform together! Reserve your FREE spot <a href="https://www.openingdoorsproject.net/concert-series/" target="_blank">here</a>. (In-person or virtual) --------------- The Opening Doors Project is a small organization with a big mission to amplify voices of color and advance conversations about race through the arts. This concert is made possible by the support of the Reading Cultural Council and First Congregational Church’s Sanctuary Arts series.&nbsp;
