Hot Mama Wiggins

September 25 at 7:00 p.m., Quapaw Quarter United Methodist Church will feature Shannon Wiggins' "Hot Mama Wiggins Variety Hour & Musicfest" as a fundraiser for QQUMC's music program. An entertainer who has performed everywhere from dirt-floored honkytonks to the Arkansas Repertory Theater, Shannon's smoky voice has the emotional intensity of a Southern Arkansas freight train, rattling windows then receding to a lonesome soft cry in the night, carrying saints and sinners away to musical glory and redemption.

Also on the bill are Lawrence Hamilton and Stephen Young. Hamilton, the famed singer, dancer and musical director who left Broadway to give back to his home state, has worked with acts like New Kids on the Block and the legendary Lena Horne. He performed for President Reagan at the White House and for Pope John Paul II at the Vatican.

Stephen Young has brought the house down at Quapaw many times with his powerful gospel numbers and his personal witness for the Lord. He works with Lawrence often and is one of the star coaches for our I Dream A World camp. Newcomers Define Hero will open the show.

Over the years, Quapaw Quarter UMC has been blessed with a lot of great music, but this show will be the greatest yet. The lights go down at 7:00 on September 25th -- mark your calendars now. Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door. Contact the church office at 375-1601 or shannon@qqumc.org to buy.
