Curtis & Loretta and Bittersweet Christmas Band CD Release

Local favorites Curtis & Loretta  bring you a delightful old-fashioned holiday show, complete with your favorite Christmas carols, Victorian costumes, sweet vocal harmonies, and an array of traditional turn-of-the-century instruments, including folk harp, mandolin, mandocello, celeste (a charming music-box sounding antique keyboard), and harmonica. Curtis & Loretta are  rereleasing “Christmastide with Curtis & Loretta” tonight.   It was originally released on cassette tape in 1991.  “Husband-and-wife team Curtis Teague and Loretta Simonet are living treasures of the Twin Cities folk scene, with a body of music rich in lovely harmonies and delicately wrought mandolin and harp....”  The Onion

The Bittersweet Christmas Band promise to present every possible perspective on the holiday season from the reverent to the ridiculous. Two to four-part harmonies and masterful instrumentation on guitar, hand drum and other percussion instruments, dulcimer and pennywhistle make the Bittersweet Christmas Band an act not to be missed!
