Note: Suzy Bogguss: Swinging Christmas replaces the previously scheduled November 28 Candlelight Celtic Christmas performance due to artist tour cancellations. All previously purchased tickets for Nov. 28 have been automatically transferred to this Dec. 18 performance.
Suzy Bogguss’ Swingin’ Little Christmas is a joyous, festive evening of traditional songs and spontaneity.
“The audience is different every night and so is our performance. The folks that come out are always in the spirit and eager to participate. They’re very much a part of the show,” says Suzy.
The musicianship is jaw-dropping and Suzy’s rich and fluid voice takes us through sentimental songs like: “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” to her own raucous “Two Step Round The Christmas Tree”. It’s a fun-filled night of all the Christmas classics sprinkled with some of Suzy’s hits through the years and select songs from her recent releases American Folk Songbook, Lucky and Aces Redux. The whole family will enjoy this Swingin’ Little Christmas Show!
Suzy exclaims, “my favorite thing is watching the people who were pretty much dragged to the show, and seeing their faces change as the night goes on! I love the whole Scrooge transition.”

During the creative explosion that was country music in the 1990s Suzy Bogguss sold 4 million records with sparkling radio hits like “Outbound Plane”, “Someday Soon”, “Letting Go”, “Drive South”, and “Hey Cinderella”. But you can’t peg Suzy that easily… In the midst of her country popularity she took time off to make a duets album with the legendary Chet Atkins. In 2003 she made an album of modern swing music with Ray Benson of Asleep At The Wheel. An album of original music in 2007 landed her at number 4 on the jazz charts. Her folk music roots show through in her frequent appearances on public radio’s A Prairie Home Companion, in the Grammy she earned for her work on Beautiful Dreamer: The Songs of Stephen Foster, and in her critically acclaimed album and book project from 2011,
American Folk Songbook. In 2014 she released Lucky, a collection of songs written by Merle Haggard and interpreted through Suzy’s crystal vocals from the female point of view. Her latest offering, Prayin’ For Sunshine, is an Americana tour de force with all songs written by Bogguss. She continues to tour the world, both on her own and with fellow country radio divas Terri Clark and Pam Tills as “Chicks With Hits” and more recently, with Kathy Mattea on their Together At Last tour. So yes, you can call her a country singer if you want, but really that’s just the beginning.
