The 3rd Annual Candlelight Christmas returns. Experience the Magic - Feel the Music - Light Up the Season

Back by popular demand, Blue Violin’s Candlelight Christmas Tour returns for its third spectacular year — bigger, brighter, and bolder than ever before.

This one-of-a-kind holiday concert experience blends the beauty of traditional carols with high-octane rock anthems, cinematic classical reimaginings, and heartwarming favorites — all brought to life in glowing candlelight, with a dazzling stage set and immersive light show.

With Guest vocalists, surprise musical collaborators, and a live choir, Blue Violin performs virtuosic, high-energy arrangements that blur the line between elegance and edge. Holiday classics like Somewhere in my Memory, Carol of the Bells, and Holly Jolly Christmas — reinvented with power and soul. Genre-bending takes on Stairway to Heaven, Bohemian Rhapsody, Interstellar, and more.

Step into a candlelit wonderland as this unforgettable concert fills the venue with music, light, and festive joy.

Whether you’re creating a new holiday tradition or returning for another season, the Candlelight Christmas Tour is more than a concert — it’s a celebration.

Willi Carlisle

Folksinger Willi Carlisle holds tight the conviction that love is bigger than hate, and no-one is expendable. Carlisle’s music has always been a dance between absurdity, spectacle, and philosophy. On his fourth studio album, Winged Victory, Carlisle returns with his signature blend of traditionally-rooted folk music and kaleidoscope of oddball characters to confer with his core tenets in more overt and provocative ways.

Carlisle delivers Victory as the next chapter in his long-running direct address to the hope that by understanding our collective suffering we might be free of it. He’s intent on creating art and a well-rounded life in a broken world. The idea began with 2022’s Peculiar, Missouri when Carlisle proclaimed “your heart’s a big tent, everybody gets in.” After gathering together all the world’s weirdos and misfits under the big tent, with 2024’s Critterland, Carlisle let them loose into the world. Now, on Winged Victory, they speak for themselves, unencumbered by social expectations.

Victory, Carlisle’s first self-produced album, will be released June 27 via Signature Sounds. It both indulges a few of his wildest dreams (including a version of Richard Thompson’s “Beeswing,” among several traditional folk song covers), and feels like the inevitable sequel to Critterland’s charismatic menagerie of chaos. Though occasionally raunchy, and routinely provocative, Victory is not afraid to make a spectacle for the sake of a point. Victory should be understood as a reflection. It revels in the beauty of tiny, monetarily-worthless moments and things, offering with them a consideration of our innate humanity.

We’re thrilled to announce a free live show featuring Wild Love Tigress with Taylor Shae Band.

Taylor Shae Band

Colorado-born and raised, Taylor Shae brings stories of outlaws, dreamers, and the road less traveled straight to your soul. Her sound sits at the dusty crossroads of Americana and alt-country, with bright, velvety vocals and a high-energy delivery that blends old-soul lyricism with modern melody. Having grown up in the shadow of the Colorado Rockies, Taylor weaves deeply personal and evocative stories into every song—think Bonnie Raitt meets Susan Tedeschi, with your heart riding shotgun through every chorus. Learn more at: taylorshaemusic.com

Wild Love Tigress

Prepare for funk, soul, and pure unstoppable energy. Since 2013, this Denver-based powerhouse has been breathing new life into 1970s-style funk and soul, with a modern, electrifying twist. Originally a nine-piece ensemble with horns, backing singers, and more, the band now delivers tight, hard-grooving tunes through a full-bodied lineup—and always brings the party.

This event is free and open to the public. Donations support the Laramie Plains Civic Center's arts spaces.

This exhibition centers the liminal, the threshold, the tether. What exists between near and far, stillness and movement, presence and absence, self and other? How do we reach across difference to find understanding, intimacy, or resonance?

This call was open to emerging and established artists alike. Work may be quiet or loud, subtle or bold—as long as it speaks to the tension, beauty, or potential of the “between.”
