SUMMARY:Deck The Halls by Candlelight at Hammond Castle Museum
DESCRIPTION:Every Thursday evening in December. Tours run at 6\, 7\, & 8pm. \nJoin us for our 6th annual Deck The Halls holiday celebration. Hammond Castle Museum will be dressed for the holidays inside and out. \nBegin your evening as you come upon our holiday illumination where holiday lights set the Castle and our iconic arches aglow. Then\, enter the Museum and delight in the enchanting ambiance of White Birch and Christmas trees\, meticulously arranged garlands\, festive wreaths\, and the warm embrace of candlelight that will envelop you throughout your tour of the Hammond Castle Museum. Immerse yourself in a bygone era of opulent tranquility and holiday grandeur that promises to be unlike any other experience on the North Shore. \nFollowing the advice of his mentor Alexander Graham Bell\, John Hays Hammond Jr. conducted the majority of his work in the evening. While this put Hammond at odds with the rest of the inhabitants of the castle – including his wife Irene – he concluded that working throughout the night and sleeping during the day positively impacted his work as an inventor. With this in mind\, “Candlelight tours” are offered on Thursday evenings throughout December. Guides will escort visitors through the Museum’s many rooms placing an emphasis on the Hammonds themselves and the time that they spent in their castle home. Electronic candles will be provided for optional use during the Candlelight Tours.

SUMMARY:Brass Fed Nation Holiday Bash
DESCRIPTION:12/12/24\nReserved Seats $30\nStanding $15\n7:00pm doors / 7:30pm show\n18+ anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult\, Positive I.D. Required \nCarlos Menezes Jr’s BrassFed Nation is a horn-driven groove machine with a unique sound incorporating the styles and traditions of early Jazz\, New Orleans Funk & Soul\, Rhythm & Blues\, Calypso\, and Jamaican Ska! Founded in 2013\, The BrassFed Nation is dedicated to the advancement of horn-driven music through exposure and outreach in both education and local musical culture! The collective features 3 unique ensembles; Cape Ann Big Band\, The Jambalaya Horns\, and The 13-Piece DubTone Orchestra – all striving to inspire and connect musicians of all ages through performances\, private studio lessons\, workshops\, and interactive clinics. \nABOUT THIS PERFORMANCE:\nPaying homage to the infectious beats and sounds of New Orleans\, the BrassFed Orchestra will cue the “Big Four” and transport audience members to the streets of the Crescent City for a Holiday Celebration that is full of surprises! This year’s program will showcase members of The Jambalaya Horns and feature a number of guest instrumentalists from the New England music scene! Featured Vocalists are Jack Favazza and Rhiannon Hurst. \nABOUT CARLOS MENEZES JR:\nPrimarily playing the Tenor Sax and Trombone\, Carlos strives to bring the big sounds of his main influences\, Gene Ammons\, Stan Getz\, and Sonny Rollins to the stage. Reflecting his own sound and style\, audience members can expect a few squeaks and honks in good humor. In 2011 he formed the Cape Ann Big Band with friends Shawn Lowe\, Mike Lentini\, Paula Burns\, and Rick Geraghty. Since then\, the group has performed over 30 consecutive sell-out performances and has become a staple in the North Shore during the holiday season. \nBetween 2012 and 2017 he toured professionally on sax and trombone with NYC’s “The Toasters” and had the honor and privilege of playing alongside some of the best in the genre. In that time he performed in front of thousands of fans across 43 countries in 4 different continents. Whether the audience was a couple hundred in a small club or tens of thousands in a stadium\, the experience was enlightening and revealed just how powerful music can be when it comes to connecting people. Driven by the support of his family\, friends\, bandmates\, and community\, he will stop at nothing to inspire and connect audiences and listeners of all ages! \n“Music is my passion\, and working within the community is one of the greatest joys of my life. What I truly love about music is that we never age-out of it\, we just become more experienced and wiser as we open our ears and eyes to the musical world around us.” \nWEBSITE: www.brassfednation.com

SUMMARY:An Evening With Squirrel Nut Zippers – Christmas Caravan
DESCRIPTION:A Festive Show For Zipsters\, Friends and Family \nThe Squirrel Nut Zippers bring their joyous\, raucous Christmas Caravan Tour back again performing all of the hits from Holidays past. From heartwarming ballads to boisterous dance tunes\, the band conjures an atmosphere nestled somewhere between the wondrous lights of Christmas and the backroom din of a speakeasy. This show is a must-see for any true music lover. \nThe Christmas Caravan show features holiday hits and classics\, selections from the Squirrel Nut Zipper’s holiday album Christmas Caravan\, and the finest new and old Squirrel Nut Zippers catalog music. Inspired by 1920s jazz\, klezmer and old time music\, SNZ’s endlessly curious and innovative leader Jimbo Mathus has concocted a show truly unique and original. This unique blend is on full display with the Christmas Caravan show\, which has increasingly grown in popularity\, selling out venues throughout the United States. \n“There is of course jazz of various stripes (mainly pre-WWII varieties) on this deliciously wide ranging night of entertainment\, but there’s so much more: sounds\, identifiable and not\, emanating from mysterious times and places\, not the least of which is New Orleans\, their home base\, a land that\, forever and still\, has a mind of its own.” – Relix

SUMMARY:Christmas with the Celts
DESCRIPTION:The original national PBS show Christmas with The Celts aired on over 200 PBS channels across the U.S.\, Canada and on the BBC in Ireland for three years. This successful TV show was the initial spark which created a huge demand for the production bringing them into Performing Arts Centers\, theaters and large casinos every year. The first live performance of Christmas with The Celts was in front of a sold-out audience at the original Grand Ole Opry (voted top venue by Pollstar) the world-famous Ryman Auditorium. \nCurrently celebrating 14 years of successful national touring\, Christmas with the Celts perform a wonderful combination of timeless ancient Irish Christmas Carols and lively Irish dance with modern contemporary songs but with Irish instrumentation. New Christmas hits\, Celts originals and fresh Irish Dance tunes are added to the show each year so that no 2 years are the same. Always a pleasant surprise. An Irish Christmas would not be complete without the unpredictable Irish jokes (craic) and banter that occurs between band members and the audience every year and the always crowd pleasing fiery Irish dancers. \nThe high-stepping spirited musical selections have audiences clapping along from the first lively renditions of popular contemporary Christmas classics. The show presents a perfect combination of modern Christmas hits\, lively ancient Irish Carols\, hilarious spontaneous humor\, thrilling Irish dancing\, a children’s choir and meaningful Christmas ballads with lush string arrangements giving audiences a most memorable interactive Christmas experience. \nShow founder and film score composer Ric Blair says\, “You can’t listen to Celtic music and not be happy. Christmas with the Celts isn’t just a concert; it is a spiritual experience of music and dance uniting communities. It’s about bringing young and old together. It is a music of the people. I think that is why this unique melding of modern Christmas hits and organic Celtic instrumentation continues to resonate and grow in popularity every year with audiences.”
