Hello Friends and Fans,
Wow, the Holidays are upon us again! If you'd like to get away from the malls and more into the spirit of the season, here are some musical options:
We usually play for a lot of different Christmassy gigs, but this year has a bit of a different twist to it. To start the month, Lucy and Marshall are joining the choir at Holy Cross for their beautiful Advent Evensong service on the first Wednesday, then heading up the mountain to Saluda to sing and play a variety of songs and tunes, some holiday ones, some not, at the most delicious Saluda Grade Cafe!
We're going to take a quick break from playing to listen to the wonderful music of Robin Bullock and Steve Baughman on December 10th, as they provide their musical magic in Simpsonville.
During the next week, Marshall will be very busy with Christmas shows highlighting the talents of his YAM (Young Appalachian Musicians) students. If you'd like to see them, there will be concerts at Hagood Elementary School on Monday, December 16th at 6 pm and Tuesday, December 17th at 10 am, and at Liberty Elementary on December 19th at 5 pm. It is such a joy to pass along music to a new generation.
December 18 we'll be playing for some of the folks waiting in the lobby at St. Francis hospital eastside (some of you may still know it as the Women's Hospital).
Then Lucy will be headed up to Brevard to 186 King Street with the BattleAxe Band for their Roots Music night, with a lot more oldtime tunes.
We finish out our month honoring the memory of Ed Harrison, playing some Celtic Christmas music at Hagood Mill.
Hope to see you at a show or two, and thank you for supporting live music!
