Bittersweet Christmas Band

(2024 Isthmus pick) What genre best exemplifies Christmas music? Traditional carols sung by a choir? The hushed jazz versions of those same carols as well as more contemporary tunes? Or treatments either mournful or rollicking on fiddle and guitar? If your vote goes folk, head to the Wil-Mar Center for a Wild Hog in the Woods presentation of Phil Cooper, Kate Early, Margaret Nelson and Susan Urban, aka the Bittersweet Christmas Band. And yes, there will be dulcimers.

Wild Hog in the Woods concert. $2 members, $4 non-members, plus tips to the performer(s).

media release:  Traditional and contemporary holiday music. The holidays are a mixed bag and so is the Bittersweet Christmas Band. From Thanksgiving through December 25, traditional artists Phil Cooper and Kate Early join forces with singers and songwriters Patty Peace and 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, banjo, mountain dulcimer, hand drum and other percussion instruments make the Bittersweet Christmas Band an act not to be missed!
