Jazz Vespers

The Mark Chaney Trio will perform for Jazz Vespers at 6 p.m. on Sunday, July 26, at Historic Elim Lutheran Church in Ogden, Utah. Mark Chaney is a life-long musician and band leader, a staple of the northern Utah music scene. Mark plays drums while singing vocals. The other two members of the trio are Kevin Stout on guitar and trombone, and Jim Stout on electric and acoustic bass. Together, the three professional musicians have more than a century of performing. 

Jazz Vespers is a monthly service combining non-denominational worship with jazz music performed by various bands, hosted at Elim Lutheran Church, blending spiritual reflection with live jazz performances. The free service brings together local musicians and listeners in an intimate evening setting. 

The church opens its doors to everyone for Jazz Vespers, combining Scripture readings, worship elements, and live jazz sets. After the Jazz Vespers Service, there is a Jazz Social with snacks and drinks in the church’s Fellowship Hall. 

There is no admission charge, but a free-will offering is taken which is used to fund future Jazz Vespers.
