Now in their 22nd year\, BSBB continues to feature the best of the eastern Iowa bluegrass scene\, featuring local greats Joe Peterson (mandolin)\, Mark Wilson (guitar)\, Paul Roberts (banjo)\, Marc Janssen (fiddle)\, and Brandi Janssen (bass). BSBB delights audiences around the Midwest\, whether they are sharing concert bills with the likes of Del McCoury Band and Asleep at the Wheel\, traveling the Midwest to perform at theatres and festivals\, or playing local Iowa City music clubs and concert series. The group performs a mix of traditional bluegrass\, country\, original music\, and fiddle tunes\, bringing nearly two hundred years of collective experience to the stage. \nTickets: $15

SUMMARY:Christmas with C.S. Lewis
DESCRIPTION:Emery Entertainment presents\nChristmas with C.S. Lewis\nIn the early years of his young adult life C S Lewis believed the story of Christ’s birth was nothing more than feel-good myth. That all changed after a particular encounter with his great friend and fellow author\, J R R Tolkien. Although both men loved mythology in general\, Tolkien was convinced that the Jesus myth was the one true myth. That was the start of Lewis’ journey from Atheism to Christianity. From that point on Christmas\, for Lewis\, took on an entirely different meaning. \nHere we find him at his home near Oxford on Christmas Eve hosting a group of Americans who are Christmassing in England. They are about to experience an unforgettable assortment of Yuletide recollections which stimulates a whole range of emotions – curiosity\, laughter\, gladness and even some tears. Above all\, they will discover how that encounter with Tolkien forever changed his Christmas celebrations.

SUMMARY:Thrivent - An Irish Christmas
DESCRIPTION:Thrivent presents\nAn Irish Christmas with Rend Collective\nAbout Rend Collective:\nHailing from the rugged coast of Northern Ireland\, Rend Collective has always believed that worship should feel more like a celebration than a performance. From their earliest days gathering on beaches and in living rooms to now leading worship across the world\, the band has held tightly to one mission: to joyfully share the good news of Jesus through authentic\, Spirit-filled worship. \nSince the release of their debut Organic Family Hymnal\, Rend Collective has grown from a small worshipping community into a global voice\, amassing over 1 billion career streams\, and multiple gold and platinum selling singles\, including fan favorites like “My Lighthouse\,” “Counting Every Blessing\,” and “Build Your Kingdom Here.” Their catalog also includes the international worship anthem “Hallelujah Anyway\,” which has resonated deeply with churches around the world. \nThe group’s breakout single “Build Your Kingdom Here” became an early global anthem\, and their momentum carried into a historic run of chart-topping albums. The Art of Celebration debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Christian Albums Chart\, followed by several additional No. 1 records including As Family We Go\, Good News\, and Campfire. Known for their energetic\, folk-infused worship\, Rend Collective has toured with major artists such as Chris Tomlin\, MercyMe\, Hillsong UNITED\, Kari Jobe\, and Lecrae\, all while preserving a sound rooted in joy\, community\, and honest storytelling. \nAcross albums like As Family We Go (2015)\, Campfire II (2016)\, Good News (2017)\, Choose to Worship (2020)\, Whosoever (2022)\, and FOLK! (2024)\, Rend Collective continues to evolve musically while staying true to the heart of their ministry: hope\, simplicity\, and the wide-open welcome of Jesus. \nToday\, the band is made up of Chris Llewellyn\, Stephen Mitchell\, Daniel Jones\, and Jonathan Chu—friends and worshippers who still believe that celebration is a holy act and that the joy of the Lord is worth shouting from the rooftops. \nTickets starting at $26.

SUMMARY:A Christmas Story
DESCRIPTION:From the songwriting team behind the smash hit Tony Award-winning musical Dear Evan Hansen and the critically-acclaimed films La La Land and The Greatest Showman\, A Christmas Story\, The Musical\, brings the classic 1983 movie to hilarious life on stage. \nA Christmas Story\, The Musical chronicles young and bespectacled Ralphie Parker as he schemes his way toward the holiday gift of his dreams\, an official Red Ryder® Carbine-Action 200-Shot Range Model Air Rifle (“You’ll shoot your eye out kid!”).An infamous leg lamp\, outrageous pink bunny pajamas\, a maniacal department store Santa\, and a triple-dog-dare to lick a freezing flagpole are just a few of the distractions that stand between Ralphie and his Christmas wish. Chock-full of delightful songs and splashy production numbers\, A Christmas Story\, The Musical\, has proudly taken its place as a perennial holiday classic for the whole family. \nHailed by The Associated Press as “a joyous Christmas miracle\,” The New York Times writes “I was dazzled. You’d have to have a Grinch-sized heart not to feel a smile spreading across your face.” A Christmas Story\, The Musical premiered on Broadway in 2012 and was a critical and commercial success. The musical was nominated for three TONY Awards® including Best New Musical\, Best Original Score\, and Best Book of a Musical. \nA Christmas Story\, The Musical features a festive and nostalgic holiday-themed score by composer/lyricist team Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (TONY Award for Dear Evan Hansen\, OSCAR for La La Land\, GOLDEN GLOBE for The Greatest Showman)\, with a book by Joseph Robinette\, based on the writings of radio humorist Jean Shepherd and the 1983 holiday film favorite. \nTickets starting at $64
