Union Church and Jacob's Well Coffeehouse are partnering to host a free Christmas concert by nationally-acclaimed, Nashville-based Christian band "Cochren & Co." on Friday, December 9. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m., with opening act David Leonard starting at 7 p.m. The event will be held in the beautiful 600-seat, circa 1890 sanctuary at Union Church, 3 Elm Street in the historic Rockville section of Vernon. Admission is free and open to the public. Dress is casual. An offering will be taken to help with expenses.

The free concert is part of the band's 2022 Christmas Party Tour. Band leader, singer, songwriter, pianist and worship leader Michael Cochren has a soulful southern rock and pop sound, enormous energy, and a remarkable vocal range. His debut song Church (Take Me Back) was created to stir people’s affections for the church. In making the announcement, coffeehouse director Drew Crandall said, “Christmas season is a great time to get back to church and to the Christ who gives us Good News and great hope in the midst of life’s trials and tribulations.”

Cochren & Co.'s last performance in Connecticut was at the XL Center in Hartford during the Toby Mac Deep Hits tour in March. For details and directions, please contact Union Church at 860.875.2559 or visit www.UnionChurch.community.
