Arvada “Soul Food” features Mormon Choir soloist

Ten Arva­da church­es are get­ting togeth­er to hold a food bank fundrais­er on Sat­ur­day, March 13 at the Arva­da Unit­ed Methodist Church.

The fea­tured artist is inter­na­tion­al star Alex Boye, who is a soloist with the Mor­mon Taber­na­cle Choir. Boye, who, accord­ing to his web­site, joined the LDS when he was 16, got his start in Eng­land with the boy band “Awe­some,” and per­formed with Mary J. Blige, The Smash­ing Pump­kins and Mis­sy Elliott, just to name a few.

Boye became dis­en­chant­ed with the indus­try and moved to Utah to con­cen­trate on Gospel music. “I was climb­ing the lad­der of suc­cess but when i got to the top, i found myself lean­ing on the wrong side of the wall,” he said on his web­site.

The fundrais­er will also fea­ture con­duc­tors and singers from 10 Arva­da church­es.
Cost is a dona­tion of non-per­ish­able food and $3 per per­son or $10 for a fam­i­ly. Arva­da Unit­ed Methodist is locat­ed at 6750 Carr St.
