A Summer Musical Event

Enjoy great music at Zion UCC, 5710 N. Highway 67, Florissant, MO 63034.  The Jazz DeLites/Classic DeLites began at Zion United Church of Christ as a Wind Ensemble, performing selected music for church services. As the group started to grow, so did their interest in other types of music and performance. They love doing the "oldies but goodies." They have performed at Zion UCC Coffee House, St. Andrew UMC Coffee House, Sher-brooke Village and church events. The leader of the Jazz DeLites is Jan Evans and the emcee is Sharon Carter.

Those Three Guys have all been long time members of Church of the Master UCC. They began playing country music occasionally at church social activities, and about three years ago began to play mostly for their own pleasure. This led to more church performances, a turn to "Bluegrass Gospel" and performances at senior living and skilled nursing facilities throughout the area. The leader of the band is Tom Kaemming, who sings lead while playing the mandolin or banjo. He also arranges the music for Those Three Guys. Mike Hacenchen sings tenor, plays the guitar and establishes the rhythm for Those Three Guys' music. The bass player is Walt Williams, who also sings bass. He is the contact person for the band and sets up the performance dates.
