We're working on a tradition at Backthird Audio. In 2005, and again in 2006, my sister, her husband and I shut up this studio to the public for a night in December and invited a small group of friends over for an intimate evening of music and fellowship. These first Christmas shows, which we announced with a simple postcard with a picture of a tiny candle, have a really special place in my heart. If you've ever been to a show here you know it's about much more than great music in a great studio. It's about people. We put on the best show we could those first two years in the hopes of honoring the one we believe this season is about - and the precious people who had chosen to join us for it. But when the music ended, the people stayed,We had cookies and coffee and cider, and we laughed late into the night.
Those nights immediately became some of my favorites of the season. So when my sister's band - now known as Willowfair - released an album in 2007 and we had to let the Chrismas show - well, it simply wasn't the same.
I'm simply thrilled to announce that the tradition is back. This year we're broadening the circle - I hope this place can be about community, after all, and we've met too many friends with incredible talent not to share the love. So we'll be joined on December 12 and 13 by Andrea Dawn, Ben Thomas and Jeremy Keen. This will be small. It will be special. And we hope you'll choose to join us.
