Michael Rivers performs at Music Live with Lunch in Sequim today

SEQUIM — Michael Rivers, the musician known for leading the Peninsula Men’s Gospel Singers, will give a solo performance of his own songs — plus a little gospel ­— during the final Music Live with Lunch of the season today (Tuesday).

The concert and meal, open to anyone who’d like a midday break, will start at noon today at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, 525 N. Fifth Ave., with tickets just $10 at the door.

Rivers, a longtime resident of Port Angeles, will offer songs such as “I Am Persuaded” and “What Does the Lord Require of Me?,” accompanying himself on piano and guitar. He’ll mix in some original songs too, perhaps from his album “My Father’s Face.” Copies of the CD will be available for purchase.

Right after the half-hour performance, a hot lunch will be served — with a vegetarian option available — in the St. Luke’s parish hall.

Reservations aren’t needed, but information and advance tickets can be found at the church office, open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. For more information, phone 360-683-4862.

Music Live with Lunch began more than 23 years ago at St. Luke’s Church when the late Lou Yandell and her husband Bill envisioned a community music series.

Singers, songwriters and ensembles from across the North Olympic Peninsula volunteer to play, and the church hosts public concerts and lunches every third Tuesday of the month from September through May.
