This Christmas Eve, December 24, Robin Barnes will lead her third annual holiday concert, and she’s bringing along some very special guests.

Appearing that evening along the “Fiyabird” and her band (Pat Casey on bass, Shea Pierre on keys, Alvin Ford Jr. on drums) are, in no particular order:

Nigel Hall
Jamison Ross
The Three Kings (The Soul Rebels Horns)
Denisia
Bruce “Sunpie” Barnes
Trixie Minx and Roxie Le Rouge (burlesque queens)
Bean and the Boys

Bad Santa will be played by the evening’s host, Derrick “Smoker” Freeman.

As if that lineup wasn’t enough, there are surprises in store, plus holiday-theme cocktails. The show takes place at Three Keys inside the Ace Hotel (600 Carondelet St.). Space is limited, so advance tickets are highly suggested. They’re available here for $15. Entry will be $20 at the door day of. Folks also have the option of reserving seating for two for $50.

The box office opens at 6p.m. for cocktail hour at the hotel lobby bar. Doors open at 7 p.m. for the 8 p.m. show.
