The Christmas Story In Folk & Acoustic Music

10 p.m. to Midnight Host: Steve Winters

Our annual show traces the Christmas story of the birth of Jesus Christ starting from the Angel Gabriel's proclamation to Mary, through Christianity's season of Advent, to the Nativity in a Bethlehem manger, to Epiphany and the march of the Magi following the Star in the East to Bethlehem to pay homage to the Newborn King.
