On Feb. 6, 2010 at 6:00 p.m., Scott Michael Bennett, male-pianist and vocalist, will be performing at the Portage Lake United Church located at 1400 E. Houghton Ave. in Houghton, MI (located next to Wells Fargo Bank). Bennett will render for the Keweenaw community a variety of hymnal and spiritual song selections. FreshDay Music describes Bennett as “an inspirational young singer whose sincere goal is to dramatically inspire people of all ages to reach for a higher life with God as its [life’s] center and other people as its [life’s] focus.”
Bennett is a former member of the Grammy Award winning Phoenix Symphony Chorale and Arizona State University’s Men’s Chorus. In 2001, he was pronounced the winner of the National Young Artists’ Competition in the Vocal Performance category singing two Shakespearean songs with full orchestral accompaniment.  In 2002, at the age of 19, Bennett recorded and released his debut album “O Glorious Love,” recorded at Gaither Studios. 
This album contains fresh reinventions of some familiar hymns in addition to some obscure songs that are favorites among Bennett’s supporters.
His sophomore album, “Come As You Are” is a deeper creation that many listeners describe as “moving” and “inspirational.”  Several have shared that they were moved to tears as they envisioned the messages conveyed in his songs. 
Scott is very patriotic and is noted for including a brief tribute in his concerts to the men and women in law enforcement, EMT/EMS, fire fighters, Emergency Services Personnel, and even our troops. He has sung at the Pentagon and sings annually for a local Veterans Day program and Sept. 11 memorial program. 
Recently, Bennett married his best friend & sweetheart Heather Bennett (formerly Kincaid). Scott & Heather Bennett’s deep commitment to God, their spiritual growth, and each other, continue to create a dynamic duo in ministry. FreshDay Music continues through the new year with the Bennetts working side-by-side to inspire, hope, & share deep and meaningful messages to people everywhere through use of passionate music, multimedia, and presentations.
This event is free and is brought to you by the Center for Adventist Ministry to Public University Students—C.A.M.P.U.S. HOPE (Michigan Tech) and the Houghton Seventh-Day Adventist Church.
