Meet The Fold
The Flurie Family Fold combines the great poetry of the hymns with a blend of rock, folk, blues, and country to unite the generations in the Church.
Bryce Alan Flurie
Bryce grew up playing folk festivals, worship services, and learning blues as well as old-time music from folks old enough to be his grandparents. In fact for over 70 years, his own grandmother played “pie-ana” at church every Sunday morning and devoted hours of each week practicing those Sunday morning hymns on her organ in the farmhouse. Bryce takes the same hymns and frames them in his rocking Americana sound that he has developed for over 30 years. Using vintage guitars, mandolins, and some good old fashioned blues harp he spices up the hymns that many of us sang as kids and writes songs that would fit in your grandma’s hymnal, right beside a church bulletin from 1957 and the bookmark you made her in third grade Sunday School class.
Tziporah Flurie
Tziporah has been playing piano for 13 years. In those years she has taken the opportunity to lead worship at her home church and also her youth group. Tziporah is self-educated in her journey with guitar and singing, but studied piano with her great grandmother in the farmhouse. She survived exacting renditions of the hymns and "This Little Light Of Mine." She was frequently asked, "Porah, where's your head?" She is also a fan of ukulele and has dabbled in it but she doesn’t play as often as she would like. Tziporah has participated in Masterpiece Ministries art camp that has helped build her faith and musical talent. She adores animals and can frequently be found with a guitar on her lap and her hound-dog, Duke, at her feet.
Jody Flurie
Jody is the “Homilies” of Hymns, Homilies, Harmonies of the Flurie Family Fold. All of her life, Jody has worked to bring people closer to Jesus. Several years ago that meant moving into another woman’s house and working hard to find the balance of respecting her husband’s rule following, schedule making nonagenarian grandmother and running her own rather ever changing and chaotic household. It was during this time that Jody studied the Bible at Evangelical School of Theology in Myerstown, Pennsylvania. Acquiring her MDIV, she continued to serve both Grandma and the Church. Now Grandma and her rules have gone to be with Jesus, and Jody uses her time to help people explore their faith and come closer to Jesus by speaking, teaching, and writing about the truths found in God’s word.
