The holidays wouldn’t be the same without Chatham County Line’s annual December Electric Tour.

The Raleigh, North Carolina-based Americana traditional string band is taking its holiday show to some of its favorite spots — Richmond, Virginia; Washington, D.C.; Saxapahaw, North Carolina — with an additional hometown show planned for the Lincoln Theatre on Wednesday, Dec. 13, to kick off the tour.

As always, the show will feature both a full Chatham County Line Acoustic Set followed by a raucous Electric Set. Check out the band’s Tour Page for details and tickets.

The following poem is from the band’s website:

All our stockings are hung by the chimney with care

As in Raleigh, Richmond, D.C., Saxapahaw we’ll soon be there

The bulbs are strung ’round the Charlie Brown tree

As Johnny throws the harness to the

Mule Sprinter team

Instruments gleam both old and new

As Greg shares a homemade peppermint chew

The eggnog is spiced with cinnamon stick

As John Teer dreams of a snowflake shaped mandolin pick

The lyrics are printed in a festive hue

As Dave asks Santa the chords to Kind of Blue

Jay Brown brings cider warmed by the fire

As Zeke tells his drums they are too young to retire

And as the banjo is nestled in the overhead bin

Chandler’s blown east by cold Colorado winds

So wrap all your gifts and cue a festive pour

It is time again for The Electric Holiday Tour!
