A sold-out crowd is expected again this year, but there are currently still tickets available online at eventbrite.com.  General admission tickets are $15, with children 5 years and under free. If there are any seats left the night of the concert, tickets will be $20 at the door.

MountainCity is excited to welcome the inimitable Dave Beegle as their special guest. There will be concessions available, including coffee for purchase in the lobby, as well as men’s and women’s MountainCity t-shirts for sale at $15 each.

While Dave and Tara won’t give away all the secrets for what to expect, they do plan to surprise all the senses. And there will be milk and cookies after the concert.

Of special note this year, MountainCity’s first CD, Mixtape Vol.1,  will be available for sale at the concert for the first time ever. Attenders will enjoy kicking off the Christmas season with a great Christmas concert and be part of the CD release celebration!

Lyrics to It’s Christmas Time, written by Dave Powers

SONG TRIVIA, have some fun with us! Can you count how many musical artists are included in this song? Music and Christmas go together for Dave and Tara Powers! See answer below.*

When Amy and Vince tell about their grown-up Christmas list

And Whitney blows your mind in, “Oh Holy Night”

Ray starts singin’ and Kenny’s horn starts ringing’

I realize – it’s Christmas time.

 

When Harry and Michael start to croon those classic Christmas tunes

And Chipmunks harmonize about a missin’ tooth

Brad starts strummin’ all by blues fly away

I realize it’s Christmas time.

 

The sights, the sounds, the lights on the trees

These are a few of my favorite things

 

Kenny and Dolly, and don’t forget John Denver

Elvis and Garth singin’ songs we all remember

Celine and Andre doing their prayer duet

Bing and Nat help us never to forget

That it’s Christmas time!

 

When our boys change the words to good ol’ Jingle Bells

Batman smells and Robin’s layin’ eggs

Tara sings, “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” on the stage

I realize, it’s Christmas time.” ©
