Church Street Concerts welcomes Now and Then for an upbeat, feel-good concert built around classic rock, soul, and harmony-rich favorites from back in the day. This is the kind of live music evening that brings people together: familiar melodies, strong vocals, danceable rhythms, and songs that invite the audience to remember, smile, tap their feet, and sing along. Now and Then brings a polished Northern California band sound to the Church Street Concert Series, combining energetic musicianship with the warmth and accessibility of songs people already know and love.

The band’s appeal begins with its voices. Now and Then is known for great singing and three-part harmonies, giving the music a full, bright, and engaging sound. The vocal blend is supported by experienced musicians who provide a strong foundation of guitar, bass, keyboard, and drums. Together, the group creates a performance that is lively without being overwhelming, professional without feeling distant, and nostalgic without feeling dated. Their music has the relaxed confidence of musicians who know how to entertain a room and build a connection with an audience.

The concert will feature favorites inspired by the classic sounds of the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, and beyond. Audiences can expect music in the spirit of early rock and roll, Motown-era soul, vocal-group classics, and well-loved songs made famous by artists and groups such as Elvis, Roy Orbison, the Shirelles, the Platters, the Drifters, the Temptations, the Supremes, the Stylistics, and the O’Jays. The result is a program that feels both familiar and fresh, with songs that have lasted because people still enjoy hearing them performed live.

For Church Street Concerts, Now and Then offers a strong community-concert opportunity. The music is approachable for a broad audience, including older adults, families, local music lovers, and regional visitors looking for a memorable Grass Valley evening. It is also a natural fit for the historic Grass Valley United Methodist Church sanctuary, where the audience can enjoy the clarity of live voices and the energy of a full band in an intimate listening environment. The setting helps turn a familiar-music concert into something more personal: a shared experience with neighbors, friends, and fellow music lovers.

This concert should be promoted as a fun, nostalgic, high-quality night of live music. The strongest message is simple: Now and Then brings back the songs people love, performed with strong vocals, tight harmonies, and a band that knows how to make classic rock and soul come alive. It is a welcoming event for anyone who enjoys the best of the oldies, the spirit of soul, and the pleasure of hearing great songs performed live in Grass Valley. Church Street Concerts is pleased to present Now and Then as part of its continuing mission to offer exceptional quarterly concerts in a warm, historic, and community-centered venue.
