Monica Rizzio Presents Her 8th Annual Holiday Show: “A Holiday Roundup”

Monica Rizzio has presented unique holiday concerts across Cape Cod for the past seven years. This year she returns to The Cultural Center of Cape Cod where she last graced the stage with her former group, Tripping Lily. This time, she brings her band The Round Up, with special guests. To record her second album, “Sunshine Is Free,” Monica returned to Nashville’s Skinny Elephant Studio to join a stacked lineup of guest musicians including  a stacked lineup of guest musicians including Mindy Smith, Maya de Vitry (The Stray Birds), Joe Pisapia (Guster), Gwen Sebastian (Miranda Lambert), Will Kimbrough (Emmylou Harris, Rodney Crowell) and Eamon McLoughlin (Emmylou Harris, the Grand Ole Opry) along with co-writers including Mindy Smith, Michael Rinne, Gwen Sebastian, Aaron Raitiere (A Star Is Born, Lori McKenna, Anderson East), Carl Anderson, Mark Erelli and Hayley Sabella. Rizzio has shared the stage with Chris Botti, Boz Skaggs, Diana Krall, Joan Osborne, Hayes Carll, Hunter Hayes, Brett Eldredge, and others.  When she performed with Tom Rush, he noted, “I made the tactical error of inviting Monica Rizzio to share the stage with me at Symphony Hall and she went and stole the audience right out from under me!” Don’t miss “A Holiday Roundup”! $25.
