Beer & Hymns to hold first anniversary Sunday

Beer. Old-school hymns. A room full of friends and strangers.

Beer & Hymns Orange County, a gathering of people who host hymn sing-alongs in local bars, will host its first anniversary Sunday at Lido Live.

The anniversary party, which will showcase the group’s original band Creaky Floors, will also host guest bands Pawnshop Kings, The Wilder Society and Eagle Rock Gospel Singers. The Sunday concert will have an ‘80s-themed after party.

Since its founding last year, Beer & Hymns Orange County has had a gathering each month at venues such as The Wayfarer, Boathouse Collective, Durty Nelly’s and The Harp Inn.

The show is at 6:30 p.m. at Lido Live, 3459 Via Lido, Newport Beach. Tickets are $10. For more information, call (949) 723-0250 or visit beerandhymnsoc.com
