Nick Lowe

with Los Straitjackets and The Cactus Blossoms

Show Starts

7PM

Ages

18+

Nick Lowe’s Quality Holiday Revue arrives in time to sprinkle some much needed Christmas Cheer. Starring none other than… Nick Lowe, the show will feature a few brand-new Christmas Classics from 2013’s Quality Street as well as careful selections from his back catalog of hits and near misses. Nick will appear both solo and backed by a sharp-dressed rock & roll combo who will bring along some Yuletide treats of their own.

Please Note: Ian McLagan will not be performing at tonight’s show with Nick Lowe and Los Straitjackets. Our thoughts are with him.
