Mass Arts Center - Merry Holly, Very Jolly, Happy Holiday Extravaganza (8)
Directed by Meg Quin Dussault
In this show featuring holiday favorite song and more, one person’s quest for a quiet escape is hilariously interrupted by a parade of friends determined to spread their festive cheer.
Erin Ash Sullivan & Rupert Wates
Erin Ash Sullivan’s music reflects a deep sense of place, and her lyrics are always authentic and drawn from her lived experience. Erin’s 2024 release, Signposts and Marks, debuted at #4 on the FAI Folk DJ chart, and Americana UK describes her as “a songwriter of the highest order.” A “Most Wanted” selection from the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, she has also won several songwriting competitions and is the three-time winner of her hometown’s Fourth of July pie eating contest.
Melodic, fresh, and easygoing, with storytelling prowess on full display…recalling the likes of Joni Mitchell and Joan Baez.”
Ellis Paul
Ellis Paul is a songwriter, author, illustrator, and teacher. A constant presence on the American folk circuit for over 30 years, he has released 22 albums of original music and performed more than 5,000 shows. His songs have been featured in blockbuster films and covered by Grammy Award–winning artists.
His stage performance is a combination of humor, improv, and poignant story songs. He has performed at the Newport Folk Festival, Carnegie Hall, and clubs and coffeehouses all over the world and was awarded an honorary degree from the University of Maine and inducted into the Maine Music Hall of Fame. He has received 15 Boston Music Awards and the prestigious Kerrville New Folk Award.
Peter Mulvey
Peter Mulvey has been a songwriter, road-dog, raconteur and almost-poet since before he can remember. Raised working-class Catholic on the Northwest side of Milwaukee, he took a semester in Ireland and immediately began cutting classes to busk on Grafton Street in Dublin and hitchhike through the country, finding whatever gigs he could. Back stateside, he spent a couple years gigging in the Midwest before lighting out for Boston, where he returned to busking (this time in the subway) and coffeehouses. Small shows led to larger shows, which eventually led to regional and then national and international touring.
