SEAN COTTON: A Georgetown , Ontario native and Toronto expat, Sean Cotton currently creates and performs in the Central Ontario regions of Muskoka and Almaguin Highlands. After retiring from a 20 year career on the road and in the studio as a guitar player and harmony vocalist with performing-songwriting duo The Undesirables, Sean has settled in the village of Burk's Falls, Ontario where he operates a recording studio producing artist, recording his own albums as well as working as a jingle composer for radio.

CHRISTINA HUTT: Christina can fill a room with her rich, resonant, out-of-this era voice and move you with her honest, charismatic delivery.  Once described as a full-bodied glass of red wine, her sound is reminiscent of the soul-stirring vocals you would have heard flowing from a transistor radio in the late 50’s.  You will understand why Hutt has been dubbed “the voice” in her hometown of Muskoka, Ontario.   She welcomes you into the secrets of her heart with fierce passion and endearing spirit.  Christina’s ease in a diversity of genres brings a captivating quality to her performances.

MIKE PHILLIPS: Phillips has travelled the country, from Vancouver to Toronto to Halifax and back, in pursuit of a musical dream that awoke in him as kid learning on his dad’s guitar, but only after he stopped taking accordion lessons. It was bass guitar that really turned up the heat up for Phillips and he played in garage punk bands doing original music only through to the mid ‘80s. It was then that he started playing guitar as his main instrument and began to perform in a series of three jug bands, first in Halifax, then Vancouver with the Hard Rock Miners, and finally landed back in Toronto with famed party band Jughead.

A Christmas Carol:

by Charles Dickens and adapted by William Colgate and Joan Bendon

Christmas just isn't Christmas without a dose of Charles Dickens' classic, "A Christmas Carol." Published in 1834, it tells the famous tale of a miserly old man named Ebenezer Scrooge. Over the course of the story, he is visited by the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future, who give him a new perspective on his life. Ultimately, these encounters teach him the importance of generosity, kindness, and the Christmas spirit.
