Acoustic Christmas 2009
Another Acoustic Christmas is in the books and what a night it was. A huge thank you to all who came out to support USTORM and spread some holiday cheer. The sold out show raised over $5000 for the USTORM foundation which directly benefits local charities that support music education for children. Per the usual, Brendan and Jake were joined by a smattering guests to help spice it up. Here are a few snippets and bunch of pictures for your sensory pleasure.
The kids from the People's Music School started the show off with arguably the best performance of the night.
