Join us Sunday, February 11th, 2024, from 8-9 pm ET/6-7 pm MT for the next installment of the musical Awakening Together program, Sounds of Awakening hosted by Rev. Yolanda Mapes where she will interview Carla Lynne Hall and Jim Keyes.
Carla Lynne Hall and Jim Keyes began performing and writing music together in 2016. Soon after they found themselves providing music for Sunday services, wedding ceremonies, and memorial services.
Over time, their musical partnership developed into a romance, and in late 2019 were married. When the pandemic hit, they were approached by churches and spiritual centers that needed music for their online remote services. It was then that they realized the need for music of hope, healing, and inspiration. Known as “Carla & Keyes”, Carla Lynne Hall and Jim Keyes are a performing duo based in Ossining, New York.
To invite them to perform any of these programs for your church or spiritual center, please email [email protected], or call 914 659 7468.
