Yes. You read it right Xmas in JULY. Due to the unfortunate cancellation of Roughshop’s 18th annual Holiday Extravaganza in December 2022, We’ve moved it to mid Summer of 2023! We figured that it’s such a harebrained scheme, that it might just work. This year marks the 19th year (but 18th show) that Rough Shop will be at the Focal Point to offer up their take on the holiday season! Find out why these shows have become an annual tradition for so many. It’s all there – the wonder, the longing, the joy, the beauty, the feeling of loneliness for some, the celebration and MANY holiday decorations. It all comes through in the original songs by Rough Shop and the wide array of Christmas and holiday songs by other artists that they select to play. And to mark this momentous occasion there will be a prize for best Xmas themed summer outfit!
Of course, a celebration of this scale is too immense for the five-member Rough Shop to pull off on their own, which is why they bring in musicians and vocalists from an array of other St. Louis bands to join the Yuletide festivities! Guest musicians TBA.
Blow molds galore! Lights aplenty! Christmas and holiday music of the highest order! Santa sanctioned! 50% of the proceeds from this weekend of concerts will go directly to keeping the Focal Point alive and presenting music!
