Saturday, January 18 7:30 PM
at AUUF
Don't miss Grammy-nominated, acclaimed acoustic guitarist Maxwell Hughes playing at the Fellowship! His unique style and intricate two handed technique produces a tremendous "sound-smoothie" of melody, harmony and percussion. His music, engaging presence and humor are undeniably entertaining and his cross genre writing style will win over any music lover. Listen to his music here.
Hughes (formerly of The Lumineers) performs a concert at the Fellowship on January 18 at 7:30 PM. The concert is free, but an artist's donation (suggested amount $10 or more) will be accepted at the door.
Doors will open at 7 PM, no reservations; seating is on a first-come basis.
Maxwell will also be our musical guest during the 10 AM & 11 AM worship services on Sunday, Jan. 19.
