“Claire Holley is an observer, a romantic reporter from the backyards and front porches of the heartland,” says Acoustic Guitar Magazine. And I could quote more such accolades for this really gifted singer-songwriter and player. She plays well, writes well, and sings well, and it all comes together in a winsome presence that makes you feel right at home.
It also means a great deal that two of her albums are dedicated to and inspired by her late father. Both are collections of Gospel-inspired tunes, whether originals or hymns. Sanctuary was recorded 20 years ago; Every Hour this year, and both resonate with age-old truth.
So sample some of that truth. Join us for a mid-winter's concert with Claire on Sunday evening, December 29th, at 7:00 at Peace Church in Cary and hear some of those songs and more. Doldrums can set in during the lull between Christmas and New Years, and this is a low-key way to enjoy some great music with old and new friends. After the music, there'll be a reception with (free) light refreshments and an opportunity to talk with Claire and visit with others. Christmas carols and lights may even find their way into the evening; is is, after all, Christmastide, and it will only be the fifth day of Christmas. Hang on to the Spirit a little longer.
Save some money. Purchase tickets in advance for $15 here. (They will be $20 at the door). And be sure to share this link with friends and invite them to come along.
