The group will perform under the direction of Justin Ryan of Keyport.

"The Matawan performance offers a perfect way for young and old alike to get together, have fun and celebrate the season," said Dr. E. Graham McKinley, director of worship arts at the First Presbyterian Church of Matawan, which is sponsoring the Oasis concert as part of the church’s annual concert series.

The concert will be followed by a reception where visitors can eat baked goods and talk with the performers.
