Yuletide

by cynthiaschafer

A few days before Christmas I attended a very festive show, Yuletide, hosted at Chestnut Farms in Dallas.
It was definitely a great night that I’m glad I didn’t skip out on!

The evening featured Lauren Chandler, Robbie Seay Band, and Folk Angel.

Lauren’s set included a selection from her new EP, which can be found here.
Her lyrics have since been a great blessing and biblical encouragement to trust His grace and sufficiency and continue faithfully, moving forward and looking to the great hope we have in Christ.

After a short coffee break, provided by Odd Fellows, Robbie Seay was up!

RSB has been a favorite of mine for many years. I was thrilled to have the opportunity to see them for the first time live and in a smaller setting. They included songs from their second 2012 album release December Vol. 2: Songs of Advent, which I’ll probably listen to year round. ;]
And currently, they are offering “Rich and Poor” on Noisetrade here, for FREE. DO IT. And I’m sure you’ll leave them a tip. ;]

My great love for hymns and Christmas carols keeps me on the look out for new interpretations and arrangements of these songs of old. And so I discovered Folk Angel. Their harmonies and acoustic percussive sound hooked me good.

“Folk Angel was formed on a cold night in October of 2009. Our desire as a band is to make known the greatness of Jesus Christ and to exalt Him through the music that we create.
We write and rearrange traditional Christmas songs, and through that creative process we retell the Gospel story that illuminates all things.”
