Christmas Rocks!

It was a dreary, rainy night in Knoxville, but it was warm with the Christmas spirit and rockabilly beats at the Tennessee Theater Tuesday night. For Ben's birthday, Luke and I gave him tickets to the Brian Setzer Orchestra's Christmas Rocks Extravaganza! Now that's a mouthful, but it lived up to the wordy title and then some. We felt like delinquent parents taking a little guy to such a late show, but 'tis the season for special events and getting to stay up late for some holiday fun. They had a great blues act from Chicago open the evening and Luke was shakin' it in the third row! We had great seats--so close we could make eye contact with the performers and best of all, catch Santa's attention when he made a surprise cameo during one set. The Knoxville concert was filmed for a Christmas Eve program for Billboard.com, so maybe you'll be able to see the show, too. Meanwhile, if you are looking for some fun, up-tempo Christmas music to round out your playlists this year, check out BSO---they won't dissappoint!
