Happy happy holiday greetings to you!

I am excited to tell you about the Stonecircle Solstice Concert at Rose Wagner Theatre on Dec. 11. This has become a wintertime tradition for many. People even have holiday dinner parties which lead up to the concert! If you do that, please start early so you can be there on time and not miss any of my big moments. Also don’t drink too much beforehand. I expect to be the ONLY drunk one at that concert! More about that concert below…

In the meantime, I wanted to share with you a little snippet of my holiday experience this year. See, I really really wanted a Christmas tree this year (or Hanukkah/Ashura/Bodhi Day/Las Posadas/Kwanzaa tree, if you prefer. I’m not religious…or I’m hyper-religious, depending how you look at it.) Unfortunately, if our house were any smaller it would be on someone’s Monopoly board so a tree didn’t seem very practical. Then in swooped, “Chester, the Christmas (pronounced Ch-ristmas) tree” to save the day! Here the little guy is pictured with his ornament, almost getting the better of him!

Chester sends you Tiny Holiday Greetings and a Mini-Happy New Year!

“Stonecircle has played in major venues and at major festivals throughout the United States, so we’re lucky to have this professional group based here in our state.” – Adam J. Robertson, SCERA President & CEO, Daily Herald Newspaper

“Here are five pieces that sound like an orchestra exploring the narrative fabric of Celtic Folk traditions in way no U.S. band has ever done before them” – John O’Regan (Music Critic, Limerick, Ireland), Alchemy (Liner Notes)

“Stonecircle’s ‘Alchemy’ is the resulting gem from this outstanding group, obviously an important, and as yet fairly unknown group in the American Celtic music scene…” – Dennis Stone (Los Angeles, CA), Folkroots Magazine
