DECEMBER 2012:

Featured events:
Joe performs with:
FRIDAY 12/7/12: 8pm
Beth McDonald at the Avalon Theatre's Stoltz Listening room, Easton, MD
From the Avalon Theatre webpage:
"Local singer/songwriter and recording artist Beth McDonald will return to the Avalon, this time in the Stoltz Listening Room, for an evening of Christmas classics and other favorites with pianist Joe Holt. 
Allaboutjazz.com says Beth's “style is 1920s-1940s standards waxing nostalgic (yet still freshly modern) of the simpler, more wholesome things in life," while jazz keyboardist Rotcod Zzaj (aka Dick Metcalf) praises her ability “to wrap you in a web of enchantment that won't soon fade. Very nice jazz for laid-back listening.” 
In addition to accompanying Beth, Joe Holt maintains a busy schedule both as a soloist and with several regional jazz groups including Shore Jazz, Spontaneous Invention, and the Joe Holt Trio. His ninth CD release: "In the Spirit of Dave McKenna" is now available at www.joeholtsnotes.com."
This show will sell out, so reserve early.
