What better way to start the Christmas season than with an afternoon of live Christmas music played by 3 groups of some of Central New York’s finest musicians!Featuring: Rebels Without a Claus, Madd Daddy, and The Holidays!
Last year Christmas Live in ’25 was a HUGE success raising over $6,000 to help feed those in need throughout Central New York. This year we’ll do it again even bigger! Christmas Live in CNY will once again be held at Center of the Arts of Homer and all for a great cause, raising money to help Music for the Mission to assist and advocate for the homeless and hungry throughout Central New York communities.
Rebels without a Claus is comprised of some of the finest and most experienced musicians in Syracuse. This year’s line-up will once again welcome bassist Edgar Pagan, guitarist/vocalist Christopher Ames, keyboardist Bob Caraher, and drummer CV Abdallah. Their resumes include performing with Ronnie Leigh, Mark Doyle, Grupo Pagan, Mary Fahl, The Billionaires, Freeze featuring Howie Bartolo, The Christopher Ames Band, Beatlecuse, Primetime and phew… too many more to name!!
Rebels has also once again enlisted vocalist Dani Rocco, former vocalist for national recording group, Avalon, and her husband, guitarist, keyboardist, and vocalist - Joel Michael Herbert. The couple spent several years working and recording in Nashville with various artists and are now permanent fixtures in Rebels!
Songs you will hear from Rebels will include contemporary arrangements of traditional Christmas songs that everyone who celebrates Christmas will immediately recognize!
Last year’s concert also included Madd Daddy, the father-daughter duo of Ted Walsh and Maddy Walsh. These two have been playing together in the Central New York and Finger Lakes regions since 2007, featuring family harmony and acoustic guitar work on original songs, along with obscure Americana covers.
The Holidays is made up of seasoned musicians from the Cortland area - Dan Austen, Steve Danaels, Samantha Danaels, Harry Norton, and Mike Starmer. This group of excellent musicians had a great time with their choice of Christmas songs last year.
We'll be there with raffles to help raise funds for our neighbors in need. Hunger and homelessness don't take a holiday and it's the season of giving, so mark your calendars, buy your tickets, and get into the spirit of things with us on Sunday, December 6 in Homer!
