Their brand of holiday music runs the gamut from toe-tapping and hand-clapping to nostalgic and sentimental\, with just a touch of comedy thrown in for fun. This year we are so excited to present Lynne with some terrific old pals – Gerard Estella\, Dave Ollinger\, Greg Kanz\, Marc Janssen and Keel Clemmens. Lynne’s holiday show has been a mainstay in Eastern Iowa for 23 years and is not to be missed. Note that a Sunday matinee performance has been added this year.
