The Good Grief Trio is a performance that can’t be seen often. Greg Hankins, Luca Lombardi and Seth Hendershot along with the Peanuts Choir interpret Vince Guaraldi’s timeless classic, A Charlie Brown Christmas, with Hankins on piano, Lombardi on bass and Hendershot on drums. With the help of world-class horn players Umcolisi Terrell on tenor saxophone, Justin Powell on trumpet and Derrick James on alto saxophone, the band also plays the music from Miles Davis’ beloved album Kind of Blue. As an Athens holiday staple, the event is the perfect way to celebrate the season. While the trio’s performances at the High Cotton Music Hall in Hartwell on Dec. 13, Hendershot’s on Dec. 14–17 and Marigold Auditorium on Dec. 18 have all sold out, there are still tickets available, as of press time, for the performance at the Ritz Theatre in Toccoa on Dec. 19.
