The holidays are a mixed bag and so is the Bittersweet Christmas Band! From Thanksgiving through December 25th, traditional artists Cooper, Nelson & Early join forces with songwriter and "wise" woman Susan Urban for a show that presents every possible perspective on the holiday season from the reverent to the ridiculous. Two to four-part harmonies and masterful instrumentation on guitar, hand drum and other percussion instruments, dulcimer and pennywhistle make the Bittersweet Christmas Band an act not to be missed!
