Jason and deMarco Tour Coming to Raleigh
International Recording Artists to Perform November 8-9

RALEIGH, NC, November 01, 2008 /24-7PressRelease/ -- St. John's Metropolitan Community Church (MCC) of Raleigh, a church for all people founded on the "whosoever" principal in 1976, announces today that it is hosting a free concert and a musical worship service as part of its 2008 commitment to reach people for whom traditional religious practices, settings and messages have been off-putting.

"We've had to work hard at clarifying that although we are both gay men of faith, our music is not religious, nor gay," says Jason Warner, of the music duo Jason and deMarco. "Our music has a message and if I had to call it anything it would be uplifting. We want to speak to everyone not only people of a particular faith."

The weekend marks the 7th anniversary for Reverend Belva Y. Boone as senior pastor of St. John's MCC. The church is offering these performances as a gift to her in support of her message that: "All people are God's beloved, deeply loved, richly gifted, highly favored and abundantly blessed."

"This will be the second time we have had the fortune of performing at St. John's in Raleigh," says deMarco DeCiccio. "The attendance and reception we received last year was overwhelming. We are looking forward to reaching even more people with our music this time."

Jason and deMarco are pop-music recording artists who have attained international recognition as: Abercrombie and Fitch play-list favorite, 2006 MTV's LOGO "Video of the Year" winners and featured in the Showtime documentary "We're All Angles" from director Robert Nunez.

"These two young men have done an incredible job sharing the grace of God through music," says Rev. Belva Y. Boone, senior pastor of St. John's MCC. "I have known them for more than 5 years and have witnessed first hand the power behind their music."
