Dreaming of a Loud Christmas

Holiday favorites meet rawkin’ guitar shredding tonight in Neil Zaza’s One Silent Night. The local axeman plugs in, strikes up the ensemble, and makes awesome guitar faces in this homegrown alternative to Trans-Siberian Orchestra’s seasonal bombast. Zaza gets some help on the Playhouse Square stage from a full orchestra and the Singing Angels. Songs like “O Holy Night” and “We Three Kings” get rock and roll makeovers, and Zaza will also play tunes from his new album, When Gravity Fails, which features appearances by Peter Frampton and Van Halen’s Michael Anthony.
