Here is the ticket link for the show, which is at The Bards Town ( 1801 Bardstown Road) Thursday, December 9th from 7:00 PM – 9:30 PM. The room is small and may sell out, so it is best to order tickets early. Plan on arriving at 6:30, ordering dinner and a drink, and hopping up when it is your turn.

Patrick Fitzgerald has been writing holiday tunes for over 20 years. For the past several years, it has culminated in living room recordings with a variety of collaborators and shared on social media. These original holiday tunes are all secular and focus on some odd angle on the Christmas, winter, or family part of what we call “The Holiday Season”. They have been composed in a large number of different genres from folk to jazz to rock to classical.
A few examples of song themes are: Santa Claus’ ex-girlfriend gets visited by Santa on Christmas Eve, a man prepares to propose to his mate on Christmas eve in New Orleans, an Angel bitterly tells the tale about how she was supposed to “Tell the Good News” before Gabriel stole her thunder, and the instructional tune on how to perform the latest dance craze called the “Funky Funky Santa”. (And those aren’t even the strangest ones.)
This year, Patrick has assembled a cast of friends to perform these tunes live at The Bards Town on Thursday, December 19th from 7 PM – 9 PM. There will also be a multimedia element to the show. So please plan to come out, order a meal, raise a glass, sit back, and enjoy a wild ride through the world of holiday cheer as imagined by a storyteller who tends to look at the holidays with his head tilted just enough off center to see a world of different possibilities. There will be no Jingle Bells or Deck the Halls, but rest assured, you will have a whole new batch of tunes to fill your stocking with this year.
