Description

Come see Andrew Peterson perform live at his hometown church in Monticello, IL! Join us for a night of music, fellowship, and encouragement as we welcome Andrew Peterson back to his hometown of Monticello, IL for a once-in-a-lifetime show! Monticello Christian Church, who is hosting this performance, was also Andrew's childhood church - something that makes this concert extra-special! Spread the word, and help us give Andrew a homecoming he will never forget! For more than twenty years now, Andrew Peterson has been about the business of quietly changing lives in four-minute increments. In the city of Nashville where music is an industry in the same way fast food, generic greeting cards, and bumper stickers are industries, Peterson has forged his own path, refusing the artistic compromises that so often come with chasing album sales and radio singles and creating instead a long line of songs that ache with sorrow, joy and integrity, and that are, at the end of the day, part of a real, ongoing, human conversation. 2019, Andrew celebrated the 20th anniversary of his Behold the Lamb of God project with an anniversary tour and brand new album recording. Andrew is also the award-winning author of The Wingfeather Saga, a four-book fantasy adventure series for young people, described as The Princess Bride meets The Lord of the Rings. The books are currently being produced as an animated film and will be re-released through Penguin Random House starting March 2020. In 2008, driven by a desire to cultivate a strong Christian arts community, Andrew founded a ministry called The Rabbit Room, which led to a yearly conference, countless concerts and symposiums, and Rabbit Room Press, which has published thirty books to date. Andrew and his wife, Jamie, have been married for 24 years and have three children, Aedan, Asher, and Skye. In his spare time Andrew keeps bees, builds dry stack stone walls, gardens, draws, and sleeps.
