WEConcert – James Ibur & Company

THE SHOW

Join us for this month’s concert with the talented singer-songwriter James Ibur, accompanied by a retinue of different local musicians playing different instruments and genres. This set is never the same twice!

This month, James is joined on stage by special guests Devon Cahill and Danny Hommes.

THE ARTISTS

James Ibur is a multi-disciplinary visual artist, professor, and songwriter, as well as frontman for the St. Louis rock alt-rock band Flying House. His heartfelt, guitar-driven style pulls influences from blues, rock, folk, and country to create a sound all his own.

Devon Cahill made her professional debut at age 6 in a three-month run of “The Sound of Music.” In 2012 she shifted gears from musical theatre and formed the indie folk band Letter to Memphis—which quickly became a local favorite—playing at venues and major cultural events all over town and winning Best Folk Band from The Riverfront Times two years in a row. In 2017, Cahill ventured out as a solo artist, debuting her first solo EP, entitled “When I Wake.”  Her rootsy songwriting style is a hybrid of Americana, indie and folk music. When not performing solo, Devon leads a band with David Newmann, and Simon Chervitz. They have opened for touring artists such as Erika Wennerstrom (Heartless Bastards), Amythyst Kiah, two time Tony Award winner Norbert Leo Butz, and The Local Honeys. Their debut album is currently in the works! 

Danny Hommes is a drummer and songwriter from St. Louis who has performed and collaborated with numerous bands across the region, including Aviation Club, Bellyfeel, Three Merry Widows, Karate Bikini, and most recently Flying House. Hommes has appeared at major local events like LouFest and contributed to more than a dozen albums. His songwriting blends humor, romance, and the occasional touch of mortality: a style he first developed in the 1990s as the primary songwriter for Don’t Tell Ginger. Outside of music, Danny runs Pixelography, a digital imaging studio, and is a two-time NAPP Photoshop Guru Award winner. More at https://linktr.ee/dannyhommes.

THE SPACE

Central to its mission is the WEConcert Series—an ongoing effort to reestablish the former church as a vibrant hub and gathering place for the community. Through music, art, and connection, WEvent Space invites all to be part of a shared creative experience in one of the neighborhood’s most unique venues.
