The Ornaments: A Charlie Brown Christmas
December 9 - 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm
The Ornaments started in 2005 as a group of friends who wanted to play the music of the greatest holiday special ever produced — Charles Schulz’s A Charlie Brown Christmas, scored by the immortal Vince Guaraldi. Two decades later, their annual shows have become a holiday tradition of their own: the classic record played live from beginning to end, recreating that feeling of settling in on a cold December night to watch Snoopy and the gang.
Pianist Jen Gunderman, bassist James Haggerty, and drummer Martin Lynds lead the trio through the record in full, joined along the way by guest soloists on everything from trombone and pedal steel to harmonica, saxophone, and musical saw. Keep an eye out — Santa Claus himself has been known to sit in on Telecaster.
Doors open at 6:30 PM, with the show beginning at 7:30 PM. The performance runs as two 45-minute sets with an intermission. All ages are welcome.
Tickets start at $46.20. Every seat is reserved — there is no general admission.
