Hope in a House of Blues

Mike Farris Returns to Hope in a House of Blues

Back for a second year, Mike Farris will open Hope in a House of Blues on Sunday, October 11.  Three blues worship times at Lake Forest Church: 8am, 9:30am and 11am.

In the two years since Salvation In Lights, Farris’ live performances across the country, including Bonnaroo, SXSW, Austin City Limits Festival, and Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival, have left music novices, fans and seasoned artists with the same awe-struck response. His live shows, in no small part, led to this music veteran taking home the Americana Music Award in 2008 “New/Emerging Artist of the Year.” Peter Frampton, Buddy Miller, Patty Griffi n, Ricky Skaggs, Bruce Hornsby, Jackson Browne, Marty Stuart and many other artists have taken note of Farris’ incomparable vocal performance.  Read more.

Meet Larry McCray

On Sunday, November 1, Larry will bring his electric blues to Hope in a House of Blues at Lake Forest Church.  Three Blues Worship times:  8am, 9:30am and 11am.

Larry's Bio: In a little town called Stevens, Arkansas, Larry McCray was born April 5, 1960.  There would be nine siblings, spanning 30 years, but only a few would hear the music calling.  "My big sis, Clara, was my first inspiration.  She and a small group did a lot of practicing and playing around the house - I knew at an early age what I wanted to do."  Read more.
