Featuring Paul Brady, Laura Sandifer, Keith Burchfield, Katie Burchield, Kaye Truitt & Hal Truitt!
Join us for a fun and festive event where you will learn many tips to make the best of your holidays! Amber comes with a vast amount of experience and she loves to help people decorate and make beautiful table decor on a dime.
Holiday Entertaining at its Best!
Come celebrate the Christmas season with entrancing Celtic music performed by a talented trio!
Alabama native Jil Chambless has played an active role in the Celtic music scene since the late 1980s.
Ed Miller has been hailed as “one of the finest singers to come out of the Scottish Folksong Revival” and as “one of Scotland’s best singing exports.”
Scooter Muse was a founding member and guitarist of the band Full Moon Ensemble, which played for eight years at Celtic Festivals all over the US and in Scotland, and later joined Henri’s Notions.
“Their Americana music is restorative, their performance highly entertaining, their orchestra of unusual instruments intriguing, and… jokes and stories are worthy of an HBO special.”
~Linda Bolton, Cozy Cabin House Concerts

Anse Rigby
Saturday, August 17
Influenced by 90’s country and alternative rock, Rigby has found a home in the singer/songwriter genre. Finding inspiration for his writing style from the likes of Dave Barnes, Ben Rector, Drew Holcomb, and Amos Lee, Anse has transformed the moments in his life into relatable substances of storytelling.
“I draw inspiration from people who need healing. I feel that music and storytelling are so powerful. It encourages others by reminding them that they are not alone in a certain situation. I try to base everything I write around love. The most important thing God has given and should shine out of us.” ~ Rigby
