Celebrate Musical Christmas Memories at Horizon Stage on
December 19 & 20
If there’s one
thing that audiences at Horizon Stage know about Jim Witter it’s that he puts
on an incredible performance. They loved his tribute to Elton John and Billy
Joel, The Piano Men, in 2013 and they
flocked to see his Simon and Garfunkel, and Lennon and McCartney shows, Feelin’ Groovy and The Long and Winding Road, last March. Now Jim is returning to
Spruce Grove for not one night but two and he’s bringing the joy and nostalgia
of Christmas with him. Christmas Memories
- Starring Jim Witter is guaranteed to make the magic of the holidays come
alive at Horizon Stage on Friday, December 19 and Saturday, December 20.
Take
a break from the hustle and bustle of December and let Jim Witter and his marvelous
band take you back in time to Christmases past. Christmas Memories is about the feelings of eager anticipation and
pure delight. It's about that special time of year when sparkling decorations, the
laughter of children, and the first notes of "Charlie Brown
Christmas" hold the promise that maybe Santa does exist. Experience the magic
of the season as you relax and enjoy a heart-warming array of favorite
Christmas tunes, including "Winter Wonderland", "Let There Be
Peace on Earth", "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree", and many
more—all enhanced by an array of nostalgic holiday-inspired projections.
Whether it’s through country music, contemporary
Christian music, or the repertoire of his musical heroes, Jim Witter’s versatility as an artist
has allowed him the opportunity to reach out and share his endearing
personality with audiences of all ages across Canada and the United States. Jim’s
own music and songwriting have earned him multiple awards and nominations from
the Canadian Country Music Association, the Junos, and the Dove Awards in
Nashville, where his album “Forgiveness” was nominated for Inspirational Album
of the Year in 2004. But it’s his multi-media musical tribute shows, The Piano Men, Feelin’ Groovy, and The Long
and Winding Road, that have been his recent big hits; receiving rave
reviews from music critics across North America, allowing him to perform with
symphony orchestras, and taking him overseas to England, Scotland, Holland, and
even Dubai!
With Christmas Memories Jim Witter has fashioned yet another masterful trip
back into not just time—but into one's heart. Let him take you on a sentimental journey
that will leave you filled with holiday spirit, hope, and happiness at Horizon
Stage on December 19 or 20 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are just $40 for adults, and $35 for students and seniors. Purchase
