An all-star lineup of the Rocky Mountain region’s premier bluegrass, country and folk musicians return to the Lakewood Cultural Center at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 2, and 2 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 3 to share “Home for the Holidays,” a new show of Americana music filled with gorgeous vocals, thrilling instrumentals and holiday joy.

Perennial favorites, The Rocky Mountain Stocking Stuffers have become a Lakewood Cultural Center tradition led by outstanding Colorado acoustic musicians including Jon Chandler, acclaimed Western musician and songwriter; multi-instrumentalist Ernie Martinez, 2018 Western Music Association Instrumentalist of the Year; and Mary Huckins of Dakota Blonde. The 10-piece band is unlike anything you have ever heard as it entertains with a spectacular collection of traditional holiday favorites and original music with a generous dose of humor. This year, the performance features special guest, Randy Chavez, founding member of crowd favorite, Opie Gone Bad.

The Rocky Mountain Stocking Stuffers put on a rollicking show, culminating with a seven-minute “The Night Before Christmas” that explores each nuance of the bluegrass genre. Plus, a special rendition of the holiday classic “I Want My Daddy Back,” an original composition by Jon Chandler and former band leader, Timothy P. Irvin.
