Ben Ferris Octet performs an annual holiday-themed concert at North Street Cabaret.
This annual holiday show by bassist Ben Ferris and his merry Octet compatriots allows you to play the role of Santa or the Grinch, metaphorically speaking; the amount going into tip buckets for seasonal music or anything but determines which direction the set list takes. You can feel good about either choice, since those donations benefit the Richard Davis Foundation for Young Bassists. Joining the fun is guest vocalist Rose Heckenkamp-Busch. Hopefully you didn’t wait on tickets, as this one is sold out.
media release: The Ben Ferris Octet is back with their annual Holiday Show! Featuring an all-star Wisconsin band of Allen Cordingly, Jon Hoel, Luke Busch, Paul Dietrich, Darren Sterud, Marty Busch, Paul Muench, Ben Ferris and Michael Koszewski. With special guest vocalist Rose Heckenkamp-Busch. As in years past, the band will play a mix of both holiday music and NOT holiday music - and the audience decides how much of both with our “Ho Ho Ho” and “No No No” tip buckets, the proceeds of which will benefit the Richard Davis Foundation for Young Bassists. $25 reserved seating, $20 general.
