This month’s Christmas Gospel Brunch will be a true community coming together with several added musicians. The ever-popular singer and keyboard player James Parker will be joining the band, as well as an amazing and passionate cello player Tim Amyett.
Adding to the festivities, expect a few special cameo appearances, including the fantastic voice of Stacy Skaggs. “We may need a larger stage,” Jamie Estes said.
The live music will continue to be inspirational and invigorating with the toe tapping, fan waving, hand clapping Gospel sounds that everyone has come to love, along with Christmas music to ring in holiday cheer this season. The event will bring friends, family and the community together to Ruidoso’s live music, mountain Christmas celebration.
