Sacred Grounds Coffeehouse

All Saturday concerts start at 7:30

Jul 31 - Todd Parrott

Todd is a Christian harmonica player and singer - if you haven’t heard a really great harmonica player perform you will be shocked at the great and varied sounds Todd can produce. His appearances are not merely “performances”, but are opportunities for those present to be blessed as they open their hearts through singing and music.  Come and see why Todd is so highly thought of at Sacred Grounds.
