Hello and Christmas music inquiry:
Hi My name is Barb Sorensen. I am a singer/songwriter from palatine, IL. I am on tour through Powell and Columbus OH between Nov 19 and 26. I perform original acoustic pop/rock for which I tour internationally. I also perform a classy Christmas concert featuring traditional German, English and Norwegian Christmas songs, sung in their native languages and translated for the audience. The show includes tidbits of history and interesting information about some of the songs. It’s a fun upscale concert. Are you looking to add music to your holidays festivities then and woul you have an open slot? Thank you for considering it.
