Sunday Service Musicians

Music image

Music is an expression of joy and is often called the universal language. It can open the heart and remind us of our spirituality, making it easier to address some of the challenges we face. It is also a gift of God’s love we can share with all of life.

Unity North is grateful for the wonderful musicians who bring beauty and joy to our Sunday Services.

Minnesota based singer/songwriter, Claire Van De Crommert, balances performing throughout the Midwest with teaching guitar privately from her home studio in Dayton. Her music crosses many genre boundaries as she combines contemporary folk, with flavors of blues, pop, jazz, and classical, in a rich blend of guitar and vocals. With over three octaves of vocal fluency, Claire’s rich tones, honest delivery, and poetic lyrics, coupled with strong melodic guitar arrangements, make for an outstanding listening event. Claire’s first CD, “Face to Face,” will be followed by the release of an all instrumental recording in 2023.

…"Shortly: folk music at its very best!"... Jos Van Den Boom, Crossroads, Brto-radio, Holland
