Award Winning Christian Music duo perform FREE concert in Downers Grove on their farewell tour

Fun and Family Friendly Free Live Music by award winning indie folk Christian band performs free concert in Downers Grove Sunday June 7 4pm

The band, Lost and Found, two time grand prize winners in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest, will be presenting a FREE concert on their farewell tour in Downers Grove Sunday June 7 at 4pm at Immanuel Lutheran Church 5211 Carpenter St. The concert is free but donations of a can of tuna or jar of peanut butter for the Immanuel food pantry are welcome.

Lost and Found has been touring together as a duo for over 25 years. Michael Bridges and George Baum, have been traveling around the world performing concerts of their original music and making friends in the process, since they were in high school. Their music is the kind of thing that often prompts reactions like, “Well, I have never heard anything like that before.” Michael and George admit it is a unique sound. Yet, just as they started their musical tours by riding bicycles coast to coast and performing on borrowed instruments wherever they were welcomed, they continue to encourage all who hear them to “do what you can with what you have for the glory of God,” as they make their own sound with just two instruments and their voices. Their concerts are interactive, driven by the audience. Each show is different--always spontaneous, improvisational and musical, and often poignant, occasionally funny. Some have said their music is “acoustic thrash.” Some have called it “heavy mental” owing to all the lyrical content in each three-minute song. And some have simply said, “Well, at least it’s organic.” However you choose to characterize the sound, if you see these guys play, you’ll find that all are welcome, that strangers become friends at the concerts, and that the music of faith is fun

Lost and Found Farewell Tour Concert Sunday June 7th 4pm at Immanuel Lutheran Church Downers Grove, IL. More information about the band can be found at www.speedwood.com and about the venue at (630) 968 3112.
