Holiday Favorites on the ProgramTchaikovsky's Trepak, It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year, Santa Claus is Coming to Town, Oh Hanukkah, Do You Hear What I Hear?, Sleigh Ride, Oh Holy Night, Carol of the Bells, We Need A Little Christmas, Winter Wonderland, Let it Snow, Santa Baby, and more!
Resident Artist: Linda Lloyd PittsLinda's art is a mixture of water color, inks, and acrylics and her style is a combination of abstract impressionism, pointillism and what Linda describes as "just plain abandon".
Resident Musicians: Pipe on the HobPipe on the Hob’s repertoire is drawn from the Celtic-speaking corners of Britain and Europe. A typical performance by the band features Irish reels and jigs, Scottish airs, French and Welsh songs of love and loss, a few Irish pub sing-alongs and even an occasional American hoedown or waltz thrown in for good measure.
