Holiday music with roots this deep is rare.
LAURELYN DOSSETT, CAROLINA CHOCOLATE DROP RHIANNON GIDDENS, MIKE COMPTON, JOE NEWBERRY AND JASON SYPHER join forces for a holiday concert at City Winery. Featuring original and traditional songs from their new release "The Gathering."
 
Appalachian- and Piedmont-style music talents Laurelyn Dossett (of Polecat Creek), Rhiannon Giddens (of the Carolina Chocolate Drops), Mike Compton (John Hartford Band, Nashville Bluegrass Band, Elvis Costello & The Sugarcanes), Joe Newberry and Jason Sypher have joined forces to create 'The Gathering,' a Christmas album recorded in a Greensboro, NC house in the woods during a hot August week.
 
The North Carolina Symphony commissioned Laurelyn Dossett to write a song cycle and those six songs form the core of the concert, focusing on a cold, dark, North Carolina winter night and a prodigal daughter's return. Other highlights include Compton singing his former boss John Hartford's "On Christmas Eve" and Giddens and Sypher doing "O Holy Night" as a bass and voice duet.
