Third Thursday Coffeehouse Series: Falling Mountain Holiday Sampler December 18, 2008

Close your eyes for a moment (after you read this, of course). Imagine the holidays in the mountains—freshly fallen snow; a cozy cottage with a warm, crackling fire; the glow of the moon on the pines; holly and ivy everywhere. Now imagine an acoustic soundtrack over your vision and you’dhave this holiday sampler from Falling Mountain Music. From its home nestled in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley, Falling Mountain presents artists whose music spans a truly breathtaking diversity of acoustic styles and influences. In this special holiday performance for BlackRock, you’llexperience the toe-tapping Americana of Randy Barrett, the heartrending ballads of Debra Cowan, the innovative guitar stylings of Michael DeLalla, and the dulcimer virtuosity of Madeline MacNeil—while visions of sugar plums dance in your head. Tickets: $ 22 (advance); $ 27 (at-the-door).
