The Ventures / Beach Boys Christmas @ the Earl 12/13

This year marks my fourth, The Silent Knights third, performing the Ventures Christmas Album at the Earl.  This year we've decided to 'venture' out and do our own show and added the Beach Boys' Christmas Album as well.  The incredible Grinder Nova will open the show.  Tickets can be found at Ticket Alternative.

A Charlie Brown Christmas / The Ventures' Christmas Album

 

2012 marks the fifth year Jeffrey Bützer and T.T. Mahoney present Vince Guaraldi's A Charlie Brown Christmas, which has become an Atlanta tradition and institution.  I have attended every one of these magical performances, which enkindle my love and spirit for the Christmas season each year.  It has also been my honor to perform The Ventures' Christmas Album the previous two years, as I will this year with my group Chad Shivers and the Silent Knights.

At The Earl December 14 & 15, tickets at Ticket Alternative (which may also be purchased at Whole Foods, Criminal Records, and CD Warehouse).

At The Bottletree Cafe December 21, tickets at thebottletree.com.
