Music in the Stacks- Concert Series

Free monthly concert series, a spin-off of the popular Music in the Stacks concerts. On the 4thThursday of the month, there will be a different local band or solo artist playing their music in the library's Fireside Room. (The concert takes place on the 3rd Thursday this month due to Christmas falling on the 4th Thursday.)

This month's concert features The Village Troubadours, a musical duo comprised of Jashan Blackwell and Chantal Harte.

Jashan grew up in the 1960s, fell in love with the music of the times, was the first kid on his block to have a Beatle haircut and has been writing songs and playing guitar since the mid-‘70s.

Chantal is a Mediterranean-born world traveler. Now that she’s retired from her massage practice, she is fully embracing her life-long passion for music, singing, playing the piano, several flutes, the ukulele, harmonica, etc.

Chantal and Jashan first met in a Sufi dance circle in Northern California, “I heard her voice before I even saw her,” Jashan said. They got together to sing, married 20 years ago, and since then spent four years teaching in Africa and 11 years in Costa Rica before moving to The Village of Oak Creek full time in 2020.

In the intimate setting of the Fireside Room at the Camp Verde Community Library, the Village Troubadours will be showcasing the songs that Jashan has written and recorded in the last couple of years while living in Sedona
