Local Girls Community Christmas Concert at Southeast Ohio History Center

The Southeast Ohio History Center is happily hosting The Local Girls Annual Community Christmas Concert on Sunday, December 10 at 2pm.

The Local Girls accompanied David Bromberg, performed at the White House, and provided music for two award-winning series on NPR, as well as PBS-TV. A Prairie Home Companion gig was one of their favorites. In the summer of 2004, The Local Girls performed throughout Germany, Austria and France and on the streets of Vienna. They have been described as “a soundfest of three-part harmony that is so good it can make you cry with joy”, by local musician, Roman Warmke.

The Local Girls, Mimi Hart, Gay Dalzell and Brenda Catania will be joined by musicians Kyle Slemmer, Mark Hellenberg, and their tried and true backup band of Michael McGannon and Terry Douds.

The concert will have a special appearance by Sarah Hart, a singer/songwriter whose songs have been recorded by many. Hart performed, by special request, for Pope Francis at the Vatican. Now the Local Girls and Sarah Hart are here to play for their own beloved community at our own Southeast Ohio History Center. What a beautiful venue! Please join them in singing. It’s time to lift our voices together!

Doors open at 1:45pm at 24 West State Street in Athens, at the corner of Congress and West State streets. For more information contact Eli at 740-592-2280 or visit the website at athenshistory.org.
