Switchback Christmas Concert

Brian FitzGerald and Martin McCormack of the duo Switchback return to Elk Rapids for a memorable evening of holiday music at the beautifully restored Historic Elk Rapids Town Hall on Saturday, December 11. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., with music starting at 7:30 p.m. Switchback has been playing its brand of eclectic Celtic and Americana music at sold-out concert halls, performing arts centers, and festivals around the world for almost 30 years. Their unique blend of Celtic and American music and original songs from their catalog of over 400 tunes has been described as, "breathtaking scenery for your ears." In 2008, the Irish Music Association presented Switchback with the award for "Top Duo in a Pub, Festival, or Concert" for the USA, Ireland, and the UK. Attendees have the option to wear face masks, provided free at the door. Wrapped snacks will be offered, with a full bar available for alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Proceeds of the concert will benefit the Historic Elk Rapids Town Hall Association's Window Replacement Campaign. Handicap parking and access are available on the east side of the building. Tickets are available at Corner Drugs and River St. Market in Elk Rapids, Oryanas 10th St. location, and at brownpapertickets.com. There is limited seating for this special one-night show.
