From the eight piece house band of the Lake Superior Big Top Chautauqua comes Blue Canvas Christmas, a joyful collaboration of some of Wisconsins finest holiday music loving musicians.
From the sublime to the raucous, this band of characters brings with them their years of comradery and exquisite musicianship. Expect an evening of beautiful voices blending harmonies as only singers with decades of singing together can; amazing arrangements for violin and cello, transforming music from Vivaldi to Bob Dylan to Jackson Browne to Randy Sabien and his own original, Boogie-woogie Christmas; strolls down nostalgia lane with Tom Mitchells readings of Charles Dickens and Clement Clarke Moore; and lots and lots of laughter.
Santas list for the night goes on and on, but let it suffice to say that it will truly be a night with musical gifts piled high under the tree.

Based on the humorous writings of author Jean Shepherd, this beloved holiday movie follows the wintry exploits of youngster Ralphie Parker (Peter Billingsley), who spends most of his time dodging a bully (Zack Ward) and dreaming of his ideal Christmas gift, a “Red Ryder air rifle.” Frequently at odds with his cranky dad (Darren McGavin) but comforted by his doting mother (Melinda Dillon), Ralphie struggles to make it to Christmas Day with his glasses and his hopes intact.

Charlie Parr is the eponymous new album by the Minnesota-based folk blues artist the same name. Charlie Parr will be performing at the Mineral Point Opera House at 7:30 pm on Feb 1, 2020.

The album, released by Red House Records, is a collection of new songs and new studio versions of classics/audience favorites from throughout Charlie’s career. Recorded at the legendary Pachyderm Studio in Canon Falls, MN, Charlie Parr features Charlie’s trademark resonator guitar and 12-string with co-producer Liz Draper on bass, longtime collaborator Mikkel Beckmen on percussion, Jeff Mitchell on electric guitar, accordion, organ, backing vocals, and Dave Hundrieser on harmonica. The album is an honest and raw recording of Charlie reflecting on himself and his career up to this point. It’s a musical reckoning that came after a freak accident less than a year ago that forced him to relearn how to play guitar, causing him to take stock of the songs he’s written over his lifetime. Charlie Parr is a stunning folk record that will surely stand the test of time, just like the man himself.
