High Energy with Steppin' In It and Rick Beerhosrt

From MAJIC 2008-2009 Concerts


The February MAJIC concert made for an incredible pairing of music and art with a fantastic American Roots band called Steppin' In It and inspiring works by local artist Rick Beerhorst.

Our attendance was up for this concert, at around 120, and I found from the people who attended the concert that a lot of connections were made between many different types of music and art goers. The guys in Steppin' In It were especially appreciative for the opportunity to play for the MAJIC series because they typically play in bars where music tends not to be the first preoccupation for people. The sanctuary setting at Bethlehem Church also allowed the band to play acoustic, something they love to do, but don't normally have the opportunity to do.

Thanks to Rick Beerhorst for the art showing and important introduction before the concert that helped people to understand the importance of engaging with visual art and music in a public setting.

Thanks also to the Bethlehem Church Worship Committee for the great reception after the concert.
