CRITIC'S PICK:
Sun., Dec. 7
JD McPherson, Melissa Carper, The EARL - Although roots rocker McPherson found success with a 15-year career of solid rockabilly inspired albums, his holiday release of all original songs, Socks (2018), has had far more legs than other projects. He also wrote a children's book around it, Socks:A Kid's Christmas Lament (2024). This year McPherson takes both on the road with Socks:A Rock and Roll Christmas Tour, playing those songs, and others, live and likely reading passages from the manuscript. Opener, spirited standup bassist and swinging country honky-tonker Carper, has her own new Christmas music, all of which'll make for a joyous and frisky evening of yuletide Americana. - Hal Horowitz
