'Twas the Noise Before Christmas: A festive holiday concert at Schlafly Bottleworks

’Twas the Noise Before Christmas… and all through Schlafly, not a creature was stirring—except Laren Loveless with an autoharp and a whole lot of holiday chaos.

Free, loud(ish), and guaranteed to get you in the spirit.

The Reeling Gilly at The Duckroom at Blueberry Hill

Strangers and friends,
Strangers and friends,

Do we have a special night coming up for us all.

The Reeling Gilly & The Hirelings
Saturday, December 20
Blueberry Hill – The Duck Room
7:30 PM

It’s been a long time coming — we’re bringing back songs from our album, Jake West—some new ones we’ve barely played, and a few that’ve lived with me for years. There are even a Vintage Years song or two that we will bring out. This is also a very special opportunity for us to connect with all of you. I’ve been feeling this pull to make the shows more about connection — about everyone in the room singing, feeling, and just being together.

This one’s going to be full-band, maybe even a fiddle joining us, and a set that moves from the old stories to the new ones.
We’ve been calling it “Life and Times of Then and Now” set— because it really feels like a journey…a voyage of all we’ve been through.

So…If you’ve ever wanted to come out, this is the one. If you remember us and you want to relive and rediscover the music and memories we shared—come out! Bring somebody you love, sing loud, and let’s close out the year right.

Grab tickets early — Blueberry Hill fills up fast around the holidays.
