Heartfelt

Otherworldly Swedish sisters Johanna and Klara Söderberg, aka First Aid Kit, roar back into town in support of their sophomore album The Lion's Roar (due Jan 24, 2012). Gorgeous harmonies, and a dark-tinged, alternative folk vibe permeate their timeless songs, which somehow feel particularly at home at The Cedar in the heart of the former Snus Boulevard.

The Cedar is now fully air-conditioned for your year-round comfort!

A return date with singer-songwriters Neal and Leandra and their by now well established traditional holiday show, but with an added twist: Leandra has been busy on a new project, and is proud to announce the release of her new lullaby CD, The Honeysuckle Vine: Lullabies for Everyone. If you are looking for an oasis of calm and tranquility during the hectic holiday season, you're in the right place.

Tens of thousands of fiercely loyal fans have come to know Neal and Leandra through their eight recordings, and their warmly engaging live shows. The simplicity and directness of their songs is both disarming and elegant. The songs are layered with textures of everyday life and love. This - combined with their remarkable blend and funny stories - connects with people’s own experiences in a way that keeps them coming back for more and bringing friends the next time around.

You'll be smiling right along with Ellis as you get drawn in by her warmth, and hear the real-life journeys she presents in her songs. An engaging and inspired writer, singer and performer who is full of light and spirit, Ellis brings a rare sense of joy when she shares what she loves doing best with her audience.
