Christmastide 2024 with SimpleGifts featuring Billy McLaughlin
Over 20 years of holiday arranging, recording, and touring finds SimpleGifts in peak creative holiday mode this season. “We are more passionate than ever about bringing folks together around the traditional carols and hymns that we have lovingly reimagined like no other show,” says band-leader Billy McLaughlin.
Celtic whistles, violin, piano, acoustic guitar and percussion are topped off with angelic three-part harmonies giving this legendary ensemble its signature “Old-World Modern” sound. Audiences of all ages laugh, cry, celebrate and sing along to perhaps the most original versions of Christmas classics you will ever find – as heard on the group’s six outstanding holiday CD’s. Warm up your ears for the show on Spotify or wherever you stream your music.
Exquisite set-design, lighting and exceptional audio system exceed expectations nightly. Long-time fans look forward to welcoming you back or meeting you for the first time and just might have a Christmas cookie for you!

What People Are Saying About SimpleGifts Music:
“You folks were amazing!!…’Helpless’ transported me back to the ‘The Last Waltz’. ‘Suite Judy Blue Eyes’ soon followed and the groove was beginning to take on a sum greater than parts thanks to the tightness of the band. The finale of ‘Ohio’ took me out of body with its relevance and soul. It literally brought me to tears. To hear the band cover these three songs with such a masterful interpretation was just another blessed addition to the good fortune and pleasure that live music has brought me over all these years. Thanks for a wonderful evening of music!!” – Mike C.
