When I was a youngster, we had a Christmas Concert every year in the little village of Kemble, Ontario where I grew up. I wanted to share that with our audience, so I put this show together to try to make it as close to what I remember a community Christmas Show was like. I hope you enjoy it.

It's blustery and cold out there, so why don't you listen in and let host Kailey Jane Hawkins warm you up with some great tunes made in and played in Grey and Bruce counties? On this week's show we talk about November gales, about the upcoming holiday season, and about beliefs (in things like Martin guitars and corgis). Featuring music by John Wort Hannam, Ruth Moody, Drew McIvor, Coco Love Alcorn, The Barra MacNeils, Jayden Grahlman, Eve Goldberg, The Mae Trio, The Good Lovelies, Gordon Lightfoot, The Jerry Cans, the Big Little Lions and Summerfolk 43 Youth Discoveries winner Esther's Family!
