Mike Kinnebrew
In the three years since Mike Kinnebrew first performed at Fireside at The Farm, he’s made the event his own – distilling the evening into the very essence of what we all love most about the Christmas season – fellowship and friendship and familiarity all around.
On Thursday, December 14, he will happily and once again take the stage to sing his ballads, telling the stories that come straight from his heart, talking to the audience about the everyday struggles of every person’s life.
Fans of the artist know that Kinnebrew mines his own history for the songs he writes and sings. Tender capsules of his own experiences, they are as comforting as a home cooked meal. In “What’s Left of Me,” written during his first few months of sobriety, he takes inventory of his life and what’s left. Realizing that he’s no longer young, he reflects on issues of substance abuse and the decision to stop drinking.
“In My Heart” was written for a friend who was widowed shortly after her wedding day; and the Christmas composition, “Can’t Let Christmas Go” captures Kinnebrew’s feeling of loss as the magic of Christmas slips away.
It’s no wonder that, for many, Kinnebrew’s Christmas performances have established themselves as the highlight of the season.
There can be no better way to capture the essence and spirit of Christmas than to indulge in the luxuries that only Old Edwards offers – a seat by the fireplace amidst the comforts of the Barn at The Farm at Old Edwards, surrounded by friends, and immersed in music.
Kinnebrew has accomplished much since he first started playing at age 14, influenced by the music played in- the family station wagon – from Tom Petty to Jackson Browne and James Taylor.
Over a decade ago, he released his debut album. “Between the Living and the Dying.” Ten years later, he recorded his second album, “One Way to Find Out.”
This year’s program will include favorite Christmas tunes, tracks from his two albums in release, a sneak peak of his upcoming album and the Christmas single, “Can’t let Christmas Go,” which made waves on Atlanta radio last year. Joining him on the stage will be his wife Lindsey, and recent addition to his band, Ramsey Wynn, who dazzles on electric slide guitar.
The show will be staged from 6:00 to 8:00 P.M. Cash bar and complimentary light bites are included and the public is welcome. There’s a $40 cover charge for the public and $25 cover charge for Old Edwards Inn and Half-Mile Farm hotel guests and members.
