Hello Friends
On Friday, November 30 at 7:00 PM there will be some fine, down home, acoustic Christmas music at the Cultural Center in Holly Springs.
The remarkable non profit organization Friends of Bluegrass (Friendsofbluegrass.org) is once again putting on a grassroots event - this time to celebrate the holiday season and the great musical heritage of North Carolina...
Holly Springs Cultural Center
300 W. Ballentine St.
Holly Springs, NC 27540

The Head Liner and main attraction of the evening is , Nixon, Blevins and Gage - a superb chamber-grass trio from the Raleigh area.
Everybody who has been involved in Folk, Bluegrass or Americana type music in the Triangle area over the last 20 years is familiar with Larry Nixon . Larry is a multi talented vocalist, instrumentalist and broadcast personality who - together with Tim Woodal - co-hosts the very popular "Pinecone Bluegrass Show" on FM 94,7 WQDR - Sundays 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM.
This evening Nixon, Blevins and Gage will be performing some of our most beloved Holiday classics
in their own unique style which could be musically described as the seasonal intersection where Doc,
Merle and T Michael meet up with Bing Crosby and Perry Como
Larry Nixon - Guitar
David Blevins - Guitar
Steven Gage - Bass
Following the intermission - before Nixon, Blevins and Gage take the stage - a couple of bands consisting of students from Johansson's Acoustic Music Studio will be playing a selection of Christmas standards.
These students range in age from 6 to 15 and they have all been working very hard to put on a good performance for all of you. Please come out and support this event, the muicians and Friendsofbluegrass.org
