SimpleGifts makes musical seasonal magic, bringing a contemporary flair to Christmas carols and hymns. The Twin Cities-based group stays close to the true heart of Christmas by focusing on a traditional holiday repertoire that has become the trademark of this award winning six-piece ensemble.

Now in its ninth holiday season together, SimpleGifts continues to combine violin, Celtic whistle, piano, acoustic guitar and percussion with angelic three-part female vocals to create a “Modern/Old-World” sound that is never out of style, in city or country.

SimpleGifts Holiday Concert Tour is scheduled to stop in Albert Lea at 7 p.m. Nov. 27 at First Lutheran Church, 301 W Clark St., Albert Lea. Tickets are $15 for adults in advance, $20 for adults at the door and $10 for students. Tickets are available online at www.simplegiftsmusic.net or at Marshall Street Music, Hy-Vee and Stadheim Jewlers all located in Albert Lea and Coffee House on Main located in Austin.
