It's a tradition! Chicago-based Americana phenom Ernie Hendrickson is bringing his 'day after Thanksgiving' annual concert back to 'the creek'. Ernie developed his musical craft in Rockford, and he now is based in Chicago. With an ISU degree in classical guitar, Ernie is celebrated for his songwriting, studio production, and vocal strength in addition to his instrumental virtuosity. The Chicago Tribune observed, "... when Ernie Hendrickson starts singing, there's an unexpected maturity to his voice." Learn more about Ernie's fascinating career at https://erniehendrickson.com/. Doors open at 2pm. There is no admission charge, but goodwill donations from the audience pay the musician(s) and help to defray the church's event hosting costs. Attendance is limited to 150. Those who wish guaranteed general seating* regardless their arrival time may make an early 'down payment' donation in the form of a $5 nonrefundable ticket at https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/ernie-11-27-26-700p .
