Ebenezers Coffeehouse
Justin McRoberts returns to the Ebenezers stage on Friday, November 21 for a fundraising concert for Young Life Upper NW DC.
McRoberts is a respected singer, songwriter and speaker who, over the past nine years, has carved out a niche for himself in the independent music scene. He is one of those rare artists who blends artistry, honesty and humor almost seamlessly. His live shows strike a delicate balance between intellect and emotion, which allows the 34 year old to approach difficult or controversial subject matter with his listeners. While his audiences can be quite diverse, from playing for congregates in a small rural church, to young professionals in DC, most of Justin’s schedule is made up of appearances on college campuses in the continental US.
McRoberts’ most recent release, Deconstruction (2008), is laden with the same disarming honesty he is known for both in his recordings as well as his live performances. The album is shaped by the classic “call from the desert” overtone that seems to pervade his story. The themes of hope, justice and compassion also run through Deconstruction much as they run through McRoberts’ career in general. Justin writes “I believe these are the defining characteristics of our likeness to God. The need and desire to care for the poor and oppressed is something we share in common with all humanity, not simply the religious.”
