Lambertville Historical Society celebrates the holidays

Posted

As part of its 11th annual holiday music fundraiser, The Lambertville Historical Society has produced an original, collaborative song and video, “A Lambertville-Style Holiday,” featuring local musicians and neighbors.

Local guitar hero and bard JB Kline wrote the melody, and the many performers wrote their own lyrics. Gary P. Cohen recorded and produced the song and video.

Additionally, the Lambertville Historical Society has assembled a compilation of holiday songs by area artists that is free online to stream or download. As in past years, the album showcases spirit and talent, and a variety of musical styles, including rock, traditional Celtic and Scandinavian music, folk, and country.

To showcase the musicians, there are three concerts: the first was Dec. 7 at Havana in New Hope, next up is Dec. 15 at The Kalmia Club in Lambertville, N.J., and the third is Dec. 18 at The Elks Lodge in Lambertville. The concerts are open to the public, with a suggested donation of $5. Attendees may arrive and depart at any time.

The Lambertville Historical Society has partnered with two local organizations to add to the festivities. On Dec. 10, after Lambertville’s tree lighting ceremony, The Acme Screening Room will host a free video watch party for “A Lambertville-Style Holiday” that will include live performances and concessions.

On Dec. 21, the Roxey Ballet will present “A Very Lambertville Holiday Celebration” in which the dancers perform to songs from the historical society’s past holiday albums; this one-night-only event will be watched live at the Music Mountain Theater or virtually via online streaming.
