TREKKY RECORDS PRESENTS CHRISTMAS AT THE CRADLE 2009
Fourth annual holiday benefit show featuring Dexter Romweber, The Love Language, Des Ark and more!
Chapel Hill, NC – November 18, 2009 – Trekky Records is very excited to announce the return of Christmas at the Cradle, an event that started as a spontaneous holiday collaboration in 2006, but has grown into a cherished local tradition. The fourth annual local-music-holiday-variety-charity-celebration will be held at Cat’s Cradle in Carrboro, NC on December 15th and will benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, as it has since its inception. Christmas at the Cradle has historically featured some of the finest artists North Carolina has to offer, including The Mountain Goats, Portastatic, Megafaun, Ivan Rosebud, Annuals, Hammer No More The Fingers, Bellafea and dozens more. This year is no exception, as Trekky Records has curated the strongest lineup in Christmas at the Cradle’s history. It is a testament to the amazing depth and quality of the North Carolina music scene that Christmas at the Cradle has never hosted the same band twice, and can still feature such excellent an important musicians in its fourth year. Each band playing will offer their interpretations of holiday music manifested as classic Christmas songs, original holiday tunes, nuanced odes to winter and unexpected bursts of yuletide joy.
Joining the bill, as they do every year, will be The Trekky Yuletide Orchestra, a 25+ member holiday super-group made up of members of the Trekky Records Collective. Formed in 2006 to record their album A New Old Fashioned Christmas, The Orchestra has opened and headlined every year of Christmas at the Cradle, sharing their electrified, symphonic brand of Christmas music with anyone who also loves the Spirit of the Season.
In addition to the music, there will be free snacks and drinks, a charity raffle with prizes from wonderful local businesses, classic holiday films, and a visit from the Bearded One himself, Santa Claus. The show will be hosted by another excellent local musician, Billy Sugarfix.
