A Joyful Noise | Fireside at The Farm
Written By: Marlene Osteen | Issue: 2021/12 – December
Mike Kinnebrew’s concert at The Farm at Old Edwards, set for December 16, marks a joyful return to the Plateau. The public is invited. For more information and tickets, visit oldedwardshospitality.com/fireside.
On December 16, a cherished Christmas tradition returns to The Farm when the sounds of Mike Kinnebrew’s holiday music will fill The Barn – the quintessential backdrop for the season and the performer.
Since last year’s Covid-cramped performance was shunted online, Kinnebrew says that he cannot wait to come back and “play for our Highlands family again.”
His music sways between country and folk-influenced by the artists that played on the family station wagon in his youth – The Beatles, The Monkees, and Elvis among them.
Kinnebrew’s musical gifts – much more than just the “three chords and the truth” that often characterizes the mix-ups of these genres – include his gift of connecting with his audience. With his gently demanding voice, he packs his lyrics with stories of life and love, tales that are relatable and familiar.
As Drew Holcomb of Drew Holcomb and The Neighbors described, “Mike is a fantastic songwriter and performer. His lyrics are thoughtful and intelligent, alongside music that evokes the classic songwriters we all know and love.”
This year’s program, A Celebration of the Season, will include favorite Christmas tunes, tunes from his album One Way to Find Out, and a selection of the ballads and music of his mentors. Also in the promise are new songs that are to be part of an album currently in the works, to be produced by Grammy-nominated producer and Kinnebrew’s good friend, Paul Moak.
Joining him in concert for the evening, under the rustic rafters at The Barn will be Kinnebrew’s wife Lindsay on vocals and perhaps, as well, some of their Nashville friends.
Kinnebrew is eagerly looking forward to returning to Highlands and fondly recalled past holiday sessions, “Magical nights of music that seem to come so often in Highlands. Tis’ the season.”
The evening will be staged from 6:00 to 8:00 P.M. A cash bar and complimentary light bites are included. The public is welcome. There’s a $15 cover charge for Old Edwards Inn and Half-Mile Farm Hotel Guests and Members, and a $25 cover charge for the public. Online ticket sales will open to the public two weeks prior to each session, so guests and members should make their purchases now.
Please Note: events are for guests 21 and older, and dates are subject to change.
