Rockford, IL – Grammy-winning singer Kurt Elling returns to his hometown Friday (August 6, 2010). He's putting on a special show at the Coronado Theatre in Rockford to raise money for scholarships for students at St. Paul Lutheran School, his alma mater. WNIJ's Susan Stephens caught up with Elling by phone and asked the New Yorker how it feels being back home.
