Roots, Rhythm & Joy Invites Neighbors to Find Community Through Music
Oct 19, 2026
DANVILLE, Ind. - Oct. 19, 2026 - PRLog -- An evening of live music can be the beginning of a friendship, a welcome introduction to a community or simply a reminder of how good it feels to be together. On Saturday, November 21, at 6 p.m., the Unitarian Universalist Community Church of Hendricks County will welcome singer-songwriter Aaron Borowitz for Roots, Rhythm & Joy, a concert and reception at 95 N. Jefferson St. in Danville.
The event is part of Caring CommUUnity, a grant-supported series of inclusive public gatherings designed to reduce isolation and create opportunities for people to meet, build friendships and experience a greater sense of belonging, made possible by support from the Hendricks County Community Foundation.
"So many people are worn down by the anger and division around us, and looking for reasons to feel hopeful about one another," said Rev. Dr. Sarah Ratekin, UUCCHC's Membership and Outreach Chair. "An evening like this gives us a chance to experience the community we want to build, where our differences are welcome, our presence matters and joy is something we share. Creating opportunities for people to feel that connection is at the heart of Caring CommUUnity, and it feels especially important right now."
Borowitz brings more than 20 years of experience performing at community gatherings, music venues and major festival stages across the country. A co-founder of the reggae and alternative band Thrive, he blends warm rhythms with folk storytelling in music that invites listeners to move, reflect and enjoy being together.
For someone looking for community, finding a place to begin can be a challenge. A concert offers an easy starting point: something to enjoy together, something to talk about and a reason to meet people they might otherwise never encounter. The reception gives guests time to introduce themselves, connect with the artist and let those conversations grow.
Roots, Rhythm & Joy welcomes people across beliefs, backgrounds and life experiences. Guests do not need to be members of UUCCHC or share a particular faith to attend. Residents are encouraged to bring friends, invite a neighbor or come on their own and enjoy an evening in welcoming company.
Through Caring CommUUnity, UUCCHC is creating more occasions for those connections to take root, with the understanding that friendships and a sense of belonging grow when people have opportunities to return, participate and get to know one another.
Roots, Rhythm & Joy: Aaron Borowitz Live takes place Saturday, November 21, 2026, at 6 p.m., at UUCCHC, 95 N. Jefferson St., Danville. Event details and donation information are available at https://uucchc.org/events/aaron/.
