Promises”
Saturday, December 4,
2010
8:00 p.m. $28
2010 marks the 10th anniversary of Peter Mayer’s
annual celebration of Christmas, “Stars and

the lead guitarist for Jimmy Buffett’s Coral
Reefer, and his brother Jim Mayer, took carols
such as “What Child Is This”, “Joy to World”,
and “Little Drummer Boy”, and original
compositions such as “Sing Joy” and “This
Christmas” and placed them in musical settings
that traced their upbringing and musical
influences from a childhood in India to their
journeys into jazz, rock, folk, and classical
directions. The show will feature musical
highlights from years past and new compositions
and arrangements.
