The 10th Annual "A Celebration of Christmas Music" With Pianist Dr. Eric Littleton

The 10th annual "A Celebration of Christmas Music", with Harriman's own Dr. Eric Littleton, was again warmly received, as the traditional kickoff to the Christmas season!  Dr. Littleton was supported by Muse Watson, Dr. Littleton's wife Julie, and Keelie Whitaker.

No one enjoys this annual concert more than Dr. Littleton himself.  The man loves his music and playing a fine piano, like the beautiful Yamaha at the Princess Theatre, for a live audience.  Just look at the grin on his face in these photos!

No one plays quite like Dr. Littleton.  He practices all year just for this event, and it's evident in his unique style and sound!  His style is to blend two or more Christmas songs into something that keeps your ears "on point", listening how each melody becomes one unique "mash-up" that leaves you wanting more.

Dr. Littleton takes you to the peak of emotional music appreciation, where a tear begins to form in the corners of your eye, and then Muse Watson steps out and sings "How Great Thou Art"!  That's when the well of tears begins to flow with that Christmas spirit you want and need!

Muse was followed by Julie Littleton and her student Keelie Whitaker.  Julie is an accomplished classical pianist herself and was proud to present to the Princess audience one of her talented music students.  Both contributed to the Christmas concert experience, and we thank them for coming.

The piano music continued after Dr. Littleton had changed into his "holiday" boots!  The audience erupted in jubilant appreciation! 

Don't dare miss this holiday event next year at the Princess Theatre!

 Merry Christmas Everyone!

Clogging At The Princess This Saturday!

Erica Lane Preforms To An Intimate Crowd

Outside, the Princess cast a welcoming white light across Roane Street, and to attract more attention, she lit up her tall face in shades of red, purple, blue, and white, but inside it was evident that most passersby simply continued on their way!  Have we forgotten how much we wanted her, how hard we worked for her?

We have to do better than this folks!  The fight for the dream continues everyday.  If we fail to support even the seemingly smallest of events, we will lose her again.  

Please, PLEASE, bookmark this website, the RSCC website, and the various Princess, Harriman, and Roane County Facebook pages for upcoming attractions.

The most expensive show yet were the $30 premium tickets for Marshall Tucker.  Most tickets are from $5 to $15, with some shows sponsored by RSCC absolutely FREE!

So, I'll quit preaching and get back to what happened inside the Princess Saturday evening, and it was good!

Erica Lane (Saylors) again brought her Christmas musical concert to Harriman and graced the Princess stage.  Even though there were barely over 200 people present, she performed as if it was to a live national audience.  I was personally embarrassed at the turnout!  Was that the best we can do? (TO SEE LAST YEAR'S REVIEW CLICK HERE!)

Anyway, her voice, backed by Rachel Mann and American Idol finalist, Johnny Keyser gave the great Princess acoustics a work out!  She sang all of the Christmas favorites, plus a few of her own songs.  

She made all the old favorites new and exciting with her stunning and silky vocals.  Erica is a prolific songwriter, and has toured internationally, starred in a reality TV series “Inspired Ambition,” and is featured on nearly a dozen film soundtracks.  Her album “A Merry Little Christmas” received glowing reviews and was selected as the Classic Christmas Standout by OnCourse Magazine.

Here are a few more photos from last evening's show.  Note, the fog machine was on high, so the photos suffered accordingly.

 

I apologize for the chastising, but you know I care about the Princess, and Harriman.  If it never meets the expectation of "the dream", then we can only blame ourselves for none support.  And, please pass on news about upcoming events.  If you can't make it, maybe your neighbor can.  Thanks!
