We want to announce a special concert on September 18 at 7 p.m. in the Chapel. Vanessa Kersting is a well-known Australian singer-songwriter who recently moved to the USA. Vanessa was named in 2022 as an up-and-coming Australian Artist, and her music can be heard on radio stations across Australia, New Zealand, the USA, and the UK. Vanessa has toured around the US, UK, Canada, and Australia for over 20 years, sharing music at venues ranging from churches to conferences, festivals, coffee houses, and even home concerts. Throughout her career, Vanessa has worked with George Tutko [Rolling Stones], Jon King [Future Leaders of the World, Throwing Gravity], Brad Blackwood [Maroon 5], and Ash Gale [The Sundance Kids]. In 2023, Vanessa was nominated for People’s Choice Artist of the Year. This reflected Vanessa’s ability to engage with audiences of all ages and sizes.  Along with her Australian charm and humor, Vanessa is a highly respected artist and takes every opportunity to play and perform as a moment to share hope and a bit of joy in the world.
