A wonderful gathering of music in the vibrant foliage of Michigan closes our outdoor season, as we present Acorn Homegrown Fall Fest on a beautiful farm in the Three Oaks area!

Featured at the festival is Mike Felten, Morse & Wagner, Jake Borowski, Doug Harsch, Rachel Drew, Emma Hamel  and special guest Anne Harris with Ernie Hendrickson.

Mike Felten Mike Felten

Award-winning singer/songwriter Mike Felten has been playing since the 1960's. A veteran of rock, country and blues bands, Mike has been on one long tour all over the United States performing 60-100 roots/blues shows a year. He defines the word "troubadour," with six albums to his credit and a lot of living behind him. Some have taken to calling him a legend. He just calls himself "Johnny Lunchbucket". His latest album, Fast Mikey Blue Eyes features collaborations with Barry Goldberg, Corky Siegel and others.

Morse & Wagner Morse & Wagner

Taylor Morse and Jamie Wagner are an acoustic/electric songwriter team who play their own original music. Morse & Wagner are both independent songwriters and each bring their own style and creativity to the project. The team is based in Chicago who have been writing, composing and performing their original music at many of the local music venues. Morse and Wagner have hosted the Open Mic at Three Oaks Acorn Theatre in the past.

Doug Harsch Doug Harsch

Doug Harsch is a singer/songwriter in the time-honored tradition--writing and singing songs with a heart covered in the dust of life with a sound that invokes the grand American story. His smart, fun, hand-clapping, foot-stomping songs are full of both the joy and grit that life brings with it.

Rachel Drew Rachel Drew

Rachel Drew grew up in a musical household on the north side of Chicago. She entered the Chicago music scene in 2015, having already written hundreds of songs, and has quickly become a highly sought after performer.

Emma Hamel Emma Hamel

Singer/songwriter Emma Hamel spent many of her high school years scrawling lyrics in class and singing in her bedroom before she began performing her original music all around Southwest Michigan. Her music pairs poetic lyrics with haunting vocals and stripped down arrangements that let the story take center stage. Her deeply heartfelt songs are filled with the hopes, insecurities, and uncertainties that accompany the transition from youth to adulthood. Emma has been featured on numerous radio and TV programs and was the 2018 winner of the Acorn Singer Songwriter Competition.

Jake Borowski

Anne Harris Anne Harris with Ernie Hendrickson

Anne Harris’ sonic signature is steeped in myriad American Roots traditions from Blues, folk, and gospel to country and rock. She has spent the last 10 years touring internationally as a blues musician.

“Once you have witnessed Anne Harris play the violin, you aren’t likely to forget the experience any time soon… She inhabits the music, or maybe the music inhabits her, but it is impossible not to be drawn under her spell”.
-BluesWax

Chicago based Americana/Folk/Rock guitarist and singer-songwriter Ernie Hendrickson spent a great deal of time honing his skills in Nashville. His deeply personal songs recall influences from Tom Petty to Tom Snider, but his sound and vision are truly singular and ring with intensity, revelation, and aching honesty.
