The Concerts On The Creek volunteers are honored that Chicago-based Americana phenom Ernie Hendrickson has decided to bring 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/. The concert runs from 7pm to about 9pm on Friday November 23rd. Doors open at 6pm. Bottled soft drinks, and packaged snacks will be available by 6:15pm.
