Jesse Terry has always loved Christmas music.

He plays over 125 shows a year, from Bonnaroo to the Philadelphia Folk Festival, and the 30A Songwriters Festival to AmericanaFest.

Sam Robbins is a Nashville based musician whose music evokes classic 70's singer songwriters with a modern upbeat edge to the storyteller troubadour persona. An avid performer, he has gained recognition from extensive touring and a 2021 winner in the Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk competition, one of the largest and most prestigious songwriting competitions in the country. He was the first to sing a Jim Croce song on The Voice.

Halley and Sam just released a collaborative Christmas album entitled "You and Me on Christmas Eve." Recorded at Skinny Elephant Recording in Nashville, TN, with Grammy-nominated producer Dylan Alldredge, the album features five original Christmas songs and 10 classic Holiday covers. Two tracks, "You and Me on Christmas Eve" and "Christmas is Coming Soon" can be found in the soundtrack of the New England based AMC+ movie "Christmas on the Cape."

Joined by drummer Tommy Geddes, let their enchanting melodies and beautiful music leave you inspired. This show promises to be as good as Holiday shows get. All are welcome! The doors will open at 6:30 PM and the concert will begin at 7 PM. Admission is free, but the joy is priceless. A free-will offering is suggested.
