St. Timothy’s Episcopal Church on Signal Mountain will host Fran McKendree in a concert on Saturday, Sept. 10, at 6 p.m. While the concert is free and open to the public, a free-will offering will be collected. Weather permitting, the audience is invited to bring a picnic and gather on the Commons lawn after 5 p.m. The concert will be on the lawn unless rain forces it indoors.

This will be Mr. McKendree’s sixth concert at St. Timothy’s.  In 2006, 2008, 2010, 2011 and 2013, he entertained enthusiastic and intergenerational audiences.  His concerts are very participatory with the audience encouraged to sing many styles of songs with him.

Mr. McKendree’s career began as he played guitar and sang with the folk band McKendree Spring.  In the 1970s, he toured with musicians like Elton John, Billy Joel, Fleetwood Mac, James Taylor, and Ike and Tina Turner.  His guitar now rests in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Mr. McKendree’s musical and spiritual life took a turn when he discerned a call to work within the Episcopal Church by revitalizing worship through music.  He sees this work as “a chance to challenge people with music.  Spirituality in music is really deep in the Episcopal Church.”
