By Daily staff report As usual, the Vilar Performing Arts Center (VPAC) in Beaver Creek has a packed schedule for the next few months. With the addition of some more winter shows, here’s a taste of what to expect in the coming months:
Brothers Keeper and Friends
Thursday, Dec. 13, 7:30 p.m.
Brothers Keeper is a rock band like you haven’t seen in a long, long time. For the past 20 years, Michael and John have steadily played with the John Oates Band, and many other world renowned musicians. Scott has been involved in recording and touring projects on a national level for more than 25 years, owns and operates the Shakedown Bar in Vail Village and has toured and recorded with The Dean Ween Group. Eaton has toured and recorded with The Drunken Hearts, as well as developing a duo with Rednor that has carried the workload at the Shakedown Bar entertaining our international community for the past four years. The development of that duo has brought Brothers Keeper to a new level, which is showcased on the upcoming release, and in its live performances.
The Oak Ridge Boys: Shine the Light on Christmas
Saturday, Dec. 15, 7:30 p.m.
The Oak Ridge Boys is one of the most distinctive and recognizable sounds in the music industry. The four-part harmonies and upbeat songs of The Oak Ridge Boys have spawned dozens of country hits and a number one pop smash, earned them Grammy, Dove, CMA and ACM awards and garnered a host of other industry and fan accolades. The band will perform both Christmas classics and some of its own hits.
Charles Dickens’ ‘A Chistmas Carol’
Saturday, Dec. 22, 6:30 p.m. and Sunday, Dec. 23, 6:30 p.m.
A powerful story of redemption, Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” has enchanted audiences the world over with its simple message of holiday joy. Ebenezer Scrooge, that most unrepentant and miserly of fellows, is made to see the light as he survives a merciless battery of revelations by the ghosts of his own life: Jacob Marley and the Christmas spirits of past, present, and future.
The Beach Boys – Now and Then
Friday, Dec. 28, 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, Dec. 29, 7:30 p.m.
You can capsulize a pop music act by reciting how many hits it’s had and how many millions of albums it’s sold. But these conventional measurements fall short when you’re assessing the impact of The Beach Boys. This band has birthed a torrent of hit singles and sold albums by the tens of millions. But its greater significance lies in the fact that The Beach Boys’ songs have forever changed the musical landscape, profoundly influencing countless performing artists to follow. The show will run through the band’s repertoire, including a few holiday classics.
Vanessa Williams
Sunday, Dec. 30, 7:30 p.m.
Vanessa Williams is one of the most respected and multi-faceted performers in entertainment today. She has conquered the musical charts, Broadway, music videos, television and motion pictures.
