Eric Byrd Trio
From the Barns of Rose Hill website:
About: For over twenty years, the Eric Byrd Trio has traveled the world as enthusiastic ambassadors of jazz. Rooted in swing and bebop, the trio embraces gospel and the blues in their expansive performance style, playing with great acuity within the broad and rich jazz tradition.
Each year, the cheerful trio tours the area with a heartwarming holiday program featuring Vince Guaraldi’s 1965 A Charlie Brown Christmas soundtrack. Originally composed for Charles Schulz’s beloved Peanuts special, Guaraldi’s playful, lyrical jazz—highlighted by the iconic “Linus and Lucy” theme—blends gentle melancholy with festive cheer, a perfect match for the Trio’s spirited and heartfelt performance, from “Skating” through “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing.”
Date & Time: Sunday, December 21, 2025. Doors open at 11:00 AM, and the concert starts at 12:00 PM.
Ticket Price: All tickets are general admission. $5 in advance until 3:00 PM on the day of the event. $10 at the door. Children 12 years and below are free when accompanied by an adult.
Ticket Information: Reserve tickets in advance online or by calling the Barns of Rose Hill Box Office at 540-955-2004. When our Box Office is closed, please leave a message. All ticket sales are final; no exceptions or exchanges.
