Recommendation: Rock and Roll Christmas Spectacular

While putting up our Christmas tree, pulled out a CD of Rock and Roll Christmas Spectacular. Haven’t been able to see them for a couple years, but the music is always enjoyable.

RRXS is a group of professional musicians from the St. Cloud area who put together a series of holiday shows each year. There are shows next weekend in Chanhassen; otherwise it’s quite a drive to get to them, but still worth it.

Here’s their website and schedule.

Their performance includes original lyrics to traditional holiday songs, and sometimes a combination of melodies and lyrics you wouldn’t expect.

Without giving too much away, my favorites are Little Drummer Boy/Wipeout, and God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen to the tune and beat of Aqualung, including the flute solo.

If you can possibly see RRXS, I highly recommend it.
