This show featuring Rosie & The Rockabillies is a Christmas Party that begins with tunes from the earliest years of Rock & Roll.  Rockabilly was created by blending Rock n’ Roll with a Hillbilly beat, then made famous by such legends as Elvis, Carl Perkins, and Jerry Lee Lewis to name a few.  You can expect to hear such classics from the 50s as Chuck Berry’s “Run Rudolph Run,” Jody Levin’s “Jingle Bell Boogie,” Elvis Presley’s “Blue Christmas” and many more.  In the spirit of the theme, encourage your guests should dress for a 50s party as Rosie & The Rockabillies will have them on the dance floor Rockin’ and Boppin’ all night long.

Tonight’s “Honky Tonk Holiday Show” is at the legendary Capitol Music Hall former home of the Wheeling Jamboree. The holidays have always held a special place in the hearts of country music artists and Jason Petty, who portrayed Hank Williams in the stage show “Lost Highway,” brings you a great collection of country Christmas songs and the stories behind them.

“Honky Tonk Holidays” invites you to share in wonderful memories with Jason and his band.   They will make you believe you are hearing Dolly tell you about a “Hard Candy Christmas” and listening to Willie sing about “Pretty Paper” while Elmo and Patsy recall how “Grandma Got Ran Over By a Reindeer.”  The Gospel section of the show will highlight the “Reason for the Season” and the bluegrass song “Christmas Time’s A-Comin” will make you smile, make you cry, while you clap your hands and stomp your feet.
