Christmas Concert in Aberdeen featuring Charlie Zahm

St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Aberdeen is thrilled to announce a Christmas Concert on Saturday, December 5th starting at 7:00 pm, featuring the world renowned singer/songwriter, Charlie Zahm. Charlie is one of the most popular soloists at Celtic music festivals, Maritime and Early American music events anywhere east of the Mississippi. With a baritone voice some have described as "coming along once in a generation," Charlie has become one of the most successful performers on the Celtic festival circuit, weaving magical moments of Scottish and Irish history for the listener and viewer, with passion for the performance and a chosen repertoire pleasing to all members of the family. A master of the guitar as well, Charlie brings an authentic love and respect for the music he sings; with dashes of humor and a light in his eyes, he will draw you into the stories of his songs! Charlie has become so sought after that he was invited to play for our Military in the Middle East over the Memorial Day weekend of 2014. Charlie will be accompanied by “Fiddler” Tad Marks; who has toured extensively across the U.S. and Europe with top-name groups and is considered one of the finest fiddlers on the East Coast. His down-home charm and easy-going style have made him friends across the country, and his fine fiddling on stage with Charlie ranges from hard-driving jigs and reels to the most expressive accompaniment for vocals you will ever hear. Tad has released several CD’s on the market. On guitar is Steve Hobson whose talent is incredible to behold. He adds such a rich tone to the accompaniment. Steve has his own band, “Sin City Band” who plays throughout the area and has several CD’s on the market. Completing our group will be percussionist Cheryl Prashker. She plays in her own group “RUNA” that tours throughout North America and is considered one of the finest Celtic groups around. They too have several CD’s currently on the market. Cheryl is currently the President of the Northeast Regional Folk Alliance (NERFA). The City of Aberdeen will be celebrating Christmas Street festivities all day starting with a breakfast at Grace United Methodist Church on West Bel Air Avenue, a Craft Show at the Fire House on Rogers Street and the Christmas Street Parade down West Bel Air Avenue starting at 3:00 PM.
