Join us for a holiday celebration where passion resonates in every note.

Immerse yourself in the captivating melodies of award-winning classical crossover artist, the Blue Violin this Christmas for an all new show, as we present a candlelit night with over 500 candles that promises to be as unique as it is unforgettable. Join us for an intimate performance of both music and dance that blends the soulful voice of the violin with the songs of Christmas, creating an atmosphere of elegance, fascination, and mystique.

Former 1st violinist of the Boston String Quartet, Blue Violin performs original music and covers utilizing loops and sequences to convey a multitude of sounds through a single violin. Imagine the production of Lindsey Stirling with the virtuosity of 2CELLOS.

Described by the Boston Ballet as a “captivating violinist,” the Blue Violin has shared the stage with acclaimed artists like John Mayer, Paul Simon, Jennifer Holliday, the Turtle Island Quartet, Giorgia Fumanti, members of Celtic Woman and Riverdance, and even Sesame Street.

With sold out shows throughout Europe and North America in 2024 the Blue Violin has also performed at the Edinburgh and Edmonton Fringe festivals and will be recording and touring in 2025 with GRAMMY nominated and GMA Dove award winning artists, Sanctus Real.

This year’s Blue Violin Christmas will feature a mesmerizing repertoire, including a reimagining of holiday favorites such as "The Little Drummer Boy", "Jingle Bells", and "Mary Did You Know".

New in 2024, and by popular demand, the performance will also include uniquely bluegrass renditions of "Sleigh Ride", "Nutcracker Suite", and Coventry Carol.

Witness the transformation of iconic tunes like “Free Bird” and “Stairway to Heaven” through the unique lens of the Blue Violin, promising an evening filled with innovation and musical surprises.

As a special treat, experience music and magic by guest performers from the Blue Violin's own family, joining him on stage.

Take part in an extraordinary night of music, where the Blue Violin takes center stage, weaving a tapestry of emotions that will linger in your hearts long after the last note has faded. Join us for A Blue Violin Candlelight Christmas – an experience that transcends the ordinary, leaving you with cherished memories of a night filled with love and musical brilliance.

It's more fun with the whole family, and when you buy a family pass, we'll give you an extra ticket for FREE!

The show will be one hour 30 minutes with no intermission. Children are encouraged to attend.

CURRENTS is the new standard for death-infused metalcore. This is emotionally fraught and
impossibly angry music soaked in cold, depressive atmosphere. CURRENTS explore the
forbidden realms of a tortured psyche, searching for meaning amidst uncertain chaos and venom.

Heartache, physical abuse, abandonment, trauma – no dark emotion is spared examination.
CURRENTS also turn their gaze outward, offering no mercy to man-made catastrophes like
climate change and animal abuse. An exploitative system that inflicts such harm upon humanity
and the entire world will not be spared the wrath within this explosive, weaponized bombast.

The Way It Ends, the second full-length from the Connecticut bruisers, is a thematic and spiritual
successor to their dense, bludgeoning, and smartly constructed full-length debut, The Place I
Feel Safest (2017), and a direct follow-up to the blistering and diverse EP, I Let The Devil In
(2018).

Those well-versed in Meshuggah, Humanity’s Last Breath, Vildhjarta, and Architects have
embraced CURRENTS with full-throated passion. A combination of their contemporaries and
influences, channeled through unique perspective and personal experience, resulted in something
revolutionary. It’s why they were handpicked for tours with August Burns Red, As I Lay Dying,
We Came As Romans, Fit For A King, Born Of Osiris, and the Impericon Never Say Die! Tour.

As New Noise declared: “CURRENTS is a band not to be ignored.”

Raw, soulful, and with plenty of swagger, Town Mountain has earned raves for their hard-driving sound, their in-house songwriting and the honky-tonk edge that permeates their exhilarating live performances, whether in a packed club or at a sold-out festival. The hearty base of Town Mountain's music is the first and second generation of bluegrass spiced with country, old school rock ‘n’ roll, and boogie-woogie. 
  
Town Mountain's latest album New Freedom Blues (October 2018) is their second consecutive album to debut in the top 10 on the Billboard Bluegrass Chart, and receive multiple worthy mentions by Rolling Stone, No Depression, and more. Full of new material and featuring several guest artists including Tyler Childers and Miles Miller (Sturgill Simpson, drummer), they prove they have staying power by regularly cranking out authentic hit albums. The impression the band has made on fans is clear through their engagement, top tier festival appearances, and those sweet, sweet Spotify streams (6+ million). And if you still can’t get enough of this hard working group, you can look forward to new music in 2020.

Having recently completed another successful run with Pixies and Cat Power, Modest Mouse continues to prove themselves to be one of the most consistent live acts today. Modest Mouse released their highly anticipated new album, The Golden Casket, on June 25, 2021 via Epic Records. The Golden Casket heralds another new chapter in the GRAMMY® Award-nominated multi platinum band’s unpredictable evolution. Produced with Dave Sardy and Jacknife Lee in Los Angeles and in Modest Mouse’s studio in Portland, the album hovers in the liminal space between raw punk power and experimental studio science, frontman Isaac Brock explores themes ranging from the degradation of our psychic landscapes and invisible technology, to fatherhood. The twelve tracks behave like amorphous organisms, undergoing dramatic mutations and mood swings that speak to the chronic tug-of-war between hope and despair that plays out in Brock’s head.
