The Solstice Sisters

Twenty years ago, The Solstice Sisters released their first collection of holiday recordings, which proved able to warm the heart of even the most grinchlike townie. Though the group remained a fixture on the live scene, especially during the holiday season, its next batch of tunes came in 2008 in response to fans requesting music they could spin during non-holiday months. (The record’s title? The Rest of the Year.) The group’s once-a-decade release schedule continued with Maybe by Christmas, released earlier this month. The Sisters and guests will play tunes from the LP at a solstice show featuring plenty of Classic City cheer.
