MOTOWN & MORE: A Holiday Celebration

MOTOWN & MORE returns to the Carroll Arts Center for a 2016 celebration of the holiday season. MOTOWN & MORE: A Holiday Celebration, in addition to nostalgic Motown classics, also offers those special tunes that bring the season in with style--The Temptations’ “Silent Night” and “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer,” The Jackson 5's " Santa Claus is Coming to Town," Stevie Wonder's "One Day at Christmas," Nat King Cole’s “The Christmas Song,” Eartha Kitt’s “Santa Baby” —just to name a few. MOTOWN & MORE: A Holiday Celebration is a seasonal favorite production that has sold out venues throughout the metro area over the past several years. Music, comedy, lights, camera, action!
 
Led by Musical Director multi-instrumentalist Gerry Gillespie (keyboards), the six piece musical ensemble of MOTOWN & MORE also features recording artist, saxophonist Art Sherrod, Jr. and, formerly of Pieces of a Dream, saxophonist Eddie Baccus, Jr. The band also includes five talented vocalists: Gene McBride, Vic Frierson, Karen Linette, Deborah Poole-Williams and Micah Smith--each phenomenal in their own right--coming together with exquisite harmonies to recreate classics and develop new musical arrangements.
 
A truly loved musical era, the MOTOWN years still evoke the sounds and images of a time full of great artists, classic songs, smooth choreography and exciting stage shows. Join us as MOTOWN & MORE brings it all back  to Westminster!
