The community is invited to enjoy an evening of music at Cochranville United Methodist Church's Music Fest, set for Sunday, Aug. 13, at 3 p.m. The event will take place outdoors in the church parking lot. Attendees are asked to bring lawn chairs for seating.

Featured will be the Rockdale Boys from Delaware County, which will perform bluegrass and gospel music. "They have been playing together for 20 years," noted pastor Jimmy Montgomery. "They play at Longwood Gardens, at Delaware County's Summer Fest at Rose Tree Park and at churches and camp meetings."

"Our music is bluegrass and acoustic, mostly gospel since we're playing at the church," noted band member Debbie Durant, who plays the bass and is a vocalist. "We have four lead singers and sing a lot of harmonies. We have fun on stage, too."

Montgomery's granddaughter, singer Jamie Marie, will be the other featured performer. She will highlight songs from the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. "(She will perform) the music of women from those eras," Montgomery noted. "She has done concerts (featuring the music of) Patsy Cline and of Loretta Lynn. Her most recent was Karen Carpenter."

Montgomery said that his granddaughter has inherited his fondness for older music. "I love the old hymns and the old standards. She has a great voice and has had musical training, and she will do a good job," he said, adding that he may join her for a song on stage.

In the event of rain, Music Fest will move inside the church. "For the last (Music Fest) we had four years ago, there was a thunderstorm forecasted, and the sky was cloudy. An hour before the concert, the sun came out and the sky was blue," Montgomery said.
