Grand Ole Opry veteran Daryl Mosley to sing at Rochester church

ROCHESTER ― Everyone's invited to come see and hear Grand Ole Opry veteran Daryl Mosley perform in Rochester.

An award-winning songwriter and storyteller whose songs have been featured on TV's "American Idol" and "The View," Mosley will entertain in a 7 p.m. Oct. 13 show at the First Baptist Church, 301 Adams St.

A frequent performer at Nashville's famous Bluebird Cafe, Mosley plays over 150 concerts a year. His songs have been recorded by dozens of artists ranging from bluegrass hall-of-famer Bobby Osborne to country star Lynn Anderson to Southern gospel's The Booth Brothers. One of his best-known songs, “(Ask the Blind Man) He Saw It All,” has been named one of the top Southern Gospel songs ever.

Gospel music legend Bill Gaither described Mosley as “a poet-and we don't have many poets left.”

“I just write and sing songs about real life and real people; songs about faith and home and community are the foundation of my music because those are the things that are most precious to me," Mosley said in a press release for the Rochester concert.

The show is advertised as an intimate opportunity to hear his songs of life and faith as well as the entertaining stories of the people and events that inspired them.

The concert is free, but a love offering will be taken.
