The holiday season is one of the best times to count life's blessings like loving families and good friends. The Rollins Theater will host Guy Forsyth and Carolyn Wonderland as they join both their talents and rockin' bands to bring back the magic of their annual holiday shows. Guy Forsyth, best known for his unique Americana/Blues sound and his fantastic live performances will share the stage with Carolyn Wonderland known to have the soulful vocals of Janis and the guitar slinging skills of Stevie Ray. From originals like "You're Not Gonna Get What You Want for Christmas" and "Christmas in Prison" and unique versions of classics like "Baby, It's Cold Outside" and "Silent Night," this duo is sure to spice up your holidays!

      If the Long Ctr. IS "Austin's Creative Home," its Rollins Theatre was “a game room or a cozy den Wed. nite. The annual Forsyth-Wonderland concert – “Holidays by Candlelight: Fireside Songs for the Soul” – was an engaging, exciting and pleasing mix of blues, rock, folk, big band & country sounds. Guy’s gripping, powerful voice + Carolyn’s wit and Joplinesque vocals, have the solid backing of Jeff Botta (bass, vox), the clowning Oliver Steck (accordion, trumpet, vox, glockenspiel); Rob Hooper (percussion) and Cole El-Saleh (keyboards). Guy and Carolyn play another 6 or 8 instruments. His rousing, raucous harmonica is my favorite, but either easily claims the title “Guitar God/Goddess.” // Many of the songs are wonderfully “re-imagined” by these artists. You hear John Prine “Christmas in Prison;” The Kinks “Father Christmas”, Little Screamin’ Kenny, “I Miss My Nellie Mae.” Wed. was “the longest night of the year.” I wish their merry music-making could have gone on longer. You will, too. Collapse
