WINTER'S RETURN 2026 Schedule <<
At the darkest time of the year we bring you music across the ages from around the world, played on a vast array of exotic instruments. Hurdy gurdies and djembe rub shoulders with citterns and bouzoukis, hammered dulcimers, whistles, violins, recorders and even the odd guitar or two (or three).
We've been doing these concerts since 2010. Even through the pandemic we produced pre-recorded concerts for two Winter seasons, 2020 and 2021, from studios 1500 miles apart. We reunited for a live stream concert in 2022 before getting back onstage in 2023, touring to real non-virtual venues with real audiences.
After taking our first break in a decade in 2024 and '25, we're looking forward to playing for you again in a couple of select, limited engagements in 2026.

Many have asked where to get recordings of our holiday music. Well, as far as studio productions go, you can only get recordings from the two duos we're formed from. But throughout the holiday season we’ll continue to make our videos freely available to view and listen to as often as you like! That makes them truly seasonal, like “It’s a wonderful Life” or “Love Actually” or “The Nutcracker” or “A Dolly Parton Christmas” ... the ever growing pantheon of great entertainment specially created to fill the void left by not talking politics!
If your desire to own a CD derives from a Yuletide wish to contribute to our Christmas stockings, then Bless You! The handy donation button is ever present and tips are always appreciated. Thank you! -->
