Dec 16 all-day
Saturday December 21 | Doors: 7:00 PM | Show: 8:00 PM
Yarn is an Americana, Alt-Country, Rock and Roll band founded in 2007 by Blake Christiana. Yarn evolved from its earliest days as a bar band in New York, NY to an outstanding roots band that’s shared stages with some of the biggest names in the business. You could say that Blake is the music and the music is Blake; that’s how deeply he inhabits the songs he writes and plays. You can hear him struggling with his feelings, whether it’s on a skittering country shuffle or on a mid-tempo folk ballad or a straight-ahead rocker.
Over the years, musicians have rotated in and out of Yarn, but drummer Robert Bonhomme and bassist Rick Bugel, along with Christiana, have remained the core of the band. Yarn has definitely brought people together with their music; their devoted followers call themselves the “Yarmy,” and for the last 4 years the band has hosted a three-day music festival, Yarnival, that attracted hundreds of fans to Troy, Virginia. Along the way, Yarn has gathered accolades from festivals, The Americana Music Association, landed on the Grammy ballot four times, and placed in the top five of the AMA album charts on more than one occasion.

Peggy “Chanteuse” Ratusz invites you to join her and the stellar line up of musicians she’s assembled, to celebrate the 2024 holiday season.

Ratusz will be joined by Kelly Jones & Jonathan Pearlman who will lend their formidable skills on acoustic guitars. This core trio will be joined by two additional masterful and renowned players. Taylor Pierson’s versatility on piano (& keys) is widely known, keeping him in demand on the scene. Same goes for the remarkable violinist/fiddle player, Paul McIntire. Their playlist contains enchanting arrangements of some of our favorites and a few of their fondest deep cut holiday tunes.

Peggy’s harmony driven trio project, featuring Hank Bones & Paula Hanke, takes the stage on the 2nd half of the show with a mini set of ‘Love Bubble’ holiday originals.

This one is sure to sell out, so make sure you get your name-your-price ticket online ahead of time or pay what you can the day of the show.
