This talented four piece band brings to the stage a gently paced acoustic show, drawing on their Irish and Celtic roots with an Appalachian influence to offer an eclectic holiday program of traditional, and original holiday pieces.​The shows are interactive and acoustic in nature with no pre-recorded tracks and each program includes stories, songs, spoken word pieces of family friendly wit and entertaining banter between ourselves and the audience. In the tradition of southern family shows, the audience will be included in a sing-a-long piece or two and the night will end with the audience joining in for numerous familiar Holiday songs.
