Mike Kinnebrew
December in Highlands means many things, but for music lovers, it means Mike Kinnebrew is coming home to The Farm at Old Edwards.
The singer-songwriter’s annual Fireside at The Farm concert returns Wednesday, December 17, this time with special guest Paul Moak, the Grammy-nominated producer and guitarist who’s played with Heart and appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
For Kinnebrew, this show holds special significance. “I can’t think of an event on my calendar that is nearer and dearer to my heart,” he has shared about this annual performance that has become a cherished holiday tradition for both locals and visitors alike.
The Georgia-born singer-songwriter, whose lyrics are, “that relatable” and melodies, “that comfortable,” has found his perfect home at The Farm, where crackling fireplaces and wooden beams create an ideal backdrop for his heartfelt storytelling.
Kinnebrew’s music resonates deeply with audiences because of his remarkable ability to find “the remarkable in the ordinary,” channeling everything from everyday moments like taking his kids to school to more vulnerable subjects like his personal struggles with anxiety and alcohol. His 2022 single “What’s Left of Me” exemplifies this honest approach – a song about second chances and his journey to sobriety at 45, proving that “it’s never too late” to change.
Moak brings impressive credentials to this intimate setting. The five-time Grammy nominee and ASCAP award winner has worked on more than 800 albums with artists ranging from Dolly Parton and Gwen Stefani to Blake Shelton, and recently performed with the legendary rock band Heart, adding an electric energy to this cozy holiday gathering.
The evening will feature selections from Kinnebrew’s latest album “Call it Life,” described as an exploration of, “the good and bad that make up our lives” – from the uplifting optimism of “Good Day” to the haunting depths of “Something Bad.” Of course, no Fireside at The Farm would be complete without beloved Christmas songs, including a special performance of “O Holy Night” by Kinnebrew’s wife, Lindsey, a talented singer, and medical doctor who joins him when her schedule permits.
The concert runs from 6:00 to 8:00 P.M. at The Farm at Old Edwards (336 Arnold Road), with tickets priced at $25 for Old Edwards Inn and Half-Mile Farm guests and $50 for the public. Guests can enjoy a cash bar and complimentary light bites in the venue’s festive atmosphere.
