Last month’s show featured a lot of variety thanks to our unique musical guests. Country Artist Sam Dougherty came to us all the way from Sherwood, Michigan - Western MI - and shared some terrific tunes from his latest release, Six Strings & God. Sam Dougherty  His music is country with a nice mix of Contemporary Pop. Sam shared some of the spiritual lessons he’s learned in his Christian walk and how his music is a reflection of these lessons. A fabulous singer and strong writer, Sam’s music was heartfelt and inspiring. We hope to have him back at 4thFridays real soon! |
Next on
stage was a unique local Jazz Artist. Take a pinch of Jimmy Hendricks,
a dash of Lenny Kravitz and a spoon full of Prince and what do you get?
- Damon Terrell. He’s a skilled guitarist and keyboardist and
is definitely fun to watch on stage. Also know as "Mr. Versatile",
Damon delivered an
Damon Terrell  electrifying set performing everything from smooth jazz tunes to delivering
a healthy dose of rock and roll. With lots of energy, Damon ran back
and forth across the stage and even stood on a stool at one point as he
played guitar. People laughed at the end when Rufus commented – “I
was waiting for him to set his guitar on fire”.

20 minute set. And of course there was lots of good fellowship at
the end.
