Music Makers welcomes the return of two popular local musicians at the Tea à Tempo concert at All Saints church on July 24. The appearance of David Storm and Bill Morrison is sure to be an uplifting afternoon of music for fans of the summer series.
When the pair met a few years ago, they discovered a shared joy in playing music together. Since Bill was 70 and David was about to turn 70 at the time they met, it was inevitable they call themselves the “270’s.”
David Storm has been the organist, pianist and music director of the Anglican Parish of Salt Spring for almost 16 years. Since moving to Salt Spring Island from Vancouver in 2005, he has participated in numerous Music and Munch and Tea à Tempo concerts over the years. Victoria native Morrison was lead singer of the eight-piece R&B dance band Backstage Betty for 10 years. Over the past few years, Morrison has continued to perform with the Jukebox Junkies.
When the pair got together just as the pandemic hit, they started with a plan to play the music of Elton John and Billy Joel. Their repertoire now also includes artists such as Fleetwood Mac, Paul Simon, The Eagles and Bruce Springsteen. Morrison is happy to be the singer as Storm looks after all accompaniment on his Roland RD-2000 digital piano.
Music by donation begins at 2:10 p.m., followed by optional tea and treats served at a cost of $5.
