The scintillating Cris Williamson sets the Freight aglow with holiday spirit in an evening of gorgeous music. Special guests Barbara Higbie and Julie Wolf (plus who knows who else!) join her in presenting original gems and plenty of seasonal good cheer: come join them! There's plenty to celebrate this year, including the recent release of Cris' CD blend of standard holiday-time favorites and originals, Winter Hearts.

Singer, songwriter, activist, and teacher of the "art of the possible," Cris brings her astounding voice to bear on a mixture of up-tempo tunes and poignant ballads, woven together from strands of folk, reggae, and lush pop. Cris transformed popular music in the mid-1970s, spearheading the blossoming women's music genre with The Changer and the Changed, the first of numerous acclaimed recordings.

An exuberant fiddle and piano virtuoso, as well as the possessor of a lovely singing voice and a stage presence like a ray of sunshine, Barbara combines technical brilliance and pure joie de vivre.

Local treasure and famed multi-instrumentalist and vocalist, Julie has established herself as a sensitive, eclectic, collaborative side player, as well as making superb music of her own.
