Lombard’s Maple Street Chapel to host acoustic concert to benefit Mercy Home

Join Michael McDermott & Heather Lynne Horton for a special benefit show for Mercy Home for Boys & Girls on Saturday, Aug. 29, at the historic Maple Street Chapel, 220 S. Main St. in Lombard.

The all-ages show will begin at 7:30 p.m., with doors opening at 6:30 p.m. The historic chapel, built in 1870, hosts acoustic concerts throughout the year.

Tickets are $50 each (general admission seating) with all proceeds going to Mercy Home for Boys & Girls in Chicago which helps provide at-risk children with food, shelter, education and counseling.

There also will be a silent auction with all proceeds going to Mercy Home. Tickets are available at ticketsignup.io/TicketEvent/MichaelMcDermottHeatherLynneHortonBenefitConcertForMercyHome.

The Chicago-area duo have performed several times for Mercy Home in the western suburbs over the years, including at the Maple Street Chapel last year. They perform locally at venues such as City Winery, Hey Nonny and Fitzgerald’s, as well as throughout the country and internationally.

This acoustic show will feature McDermott singing and storytelling on guitar, harmonica, and keyboards and Horton singing and playing violin.
