Virtual music in the Tabernacle

The Purcellville Parks and Recreation Advisory Board will introduce the first virtual concert of the Music in the Tabernacle series. On Saturday, June 5, visit the Purcellville Parks and Recreation Facebook page at 7 p.m. to see local performers Ben Demase and Megan Waltman.

This is the first of four virtual concerts featuring eight local musicians and bands recorded in the Bush Tabernacle by OHM Productions with Loudoun DJ as the host. Watch for the four concerts each Saturday in June 2021. 

Below is an introduction to the performers who will be featured on June 5.

Ben Demase

Ben Demase is a 14-year-old 8th grader who attends Blue Ridge Middle School. He takes lessons at Shamrock Music Shoppe and has been playing for about 5 years.

He enjoys indie and alternative music and has started writing his own music. He has played the Purcellville Music and Arts festival community stage twice, plays at various open mics, and participates in Loudoun’s Battle of the Bands. He also enjoys performing with school and local theater groups.

Megan Waltman

Megan Waltman grew up entertaining in the live performance culture of Chicago and has been singing for crowds since her first gig at The Taste of Chicago when she was 12. While living in Los Angeles and honing her live performance skills at USC, Waltman worked her way through school as co-host of the nationally broadcast “Nate and Megan in the Morning” on Radio Disney.

Waltman’s current focus on writing and recording allows her to travel regularly to Los Angeles, Chicago, and Nashville to perform live. She recently released five songs that are now available on all streaming platforms.

Music in the Tabernacle is sponsored by Mountaineer Pipe, Keren Jayne Homes, Presidential Bank, Bayside Professional Services, DiRenzo Family Dentistry, Kettles and Grains, Longhouse Architects, Loudoun Valley Roofing, Purcellville Business Association, and Shamrock Music Shoppe. The Purcellville Parks and Recreation Advisory Board thanks these sponsors for their generosity, and recognizes the Bush Tabernacle for supporting this event.
