Joy, as described by so many spiritual leaders and thinkers, is our birthright, a portal to our humanity and connection, a ballast and energizer to our quest for peace and fairness. And yet, joy can be elusive. How do we access joy? What is our daily, our hourly practice? Join Aubrey and Elwood in a delightful examination of joy and the role of warmheartedness, beauty, and humor in our lives including “joy on the front lines” in this challenging, mortal world. Aubrey and Elwood hope their words and songs will leave you feeling rested, lighter-hearted, moved, and inspired.

Aubrey Atwater and Elwood Donnelly, longtime musicians and dancers from Warren, RI, present American folk music with unique vocal harmonies, guitar, dulcimer, Irish whistle, harmonica, banjo, and more. Aubrey and Elwood have appeared in worship spaces throughout the United States for many years and present compelling services with music, readings, and reflections. Aubrey is also a longtime Therapeutic Musician at Hasbro Children’s Hospital and helps lead a bereavement group at the Barrington Congregational Church.
