If you like (or think you might like) a little tropical flavoring in your holiday music, the fourth-annual Island Christmas Holiday show returns to The Redmoor (3187 Linwood Ave., Mount Lookout, theredmoor.com) on Thursday, Dec. 19 at 7 p.m.
The event is headed up by Scotty McEvoy (of The SunBurners and Mark Becknell (of the Queen City Silver Stars), who lead a band of local musicians (dubbed The Merry Gentlemen) through a program of Christmas music (both classic and original) delivered in the styles of Soca, Calypso and Reggae.
Attendees this year will have the opportunity to take home a CD featuring recordings of the songs; the $10 discs are exclusively available at the Dec. 19 show.
Tickets can be purchased in advance ($10) at islandchristmasholiday.eventbrite.com.
