Christmas time is here and The Joan Holliday Holiday Hootenanny and Sweetback Sisters Country Christmas Spectacular (or JHHHSSCCSS) is back at the Academy of Music in Northampton for their annual holiday sing-along!

This wildly popular show requires a bit of audience participation and, especially, a love for all genres of holiday music (fear not, songbooks are provided). Add in a healthy dose of trivia, prizes, and matching outfits and we think it’s safe to say this event lives up to its name: The Joan Holiday Holiday Hootenanny and Sweetback Sisters’ Country Christmas Sing-Along SPECTACULAR! Get your tickets for the matinee at 3 and the longer evening show at 7 – before they sell out!

Presented by Signature Sounds Presents and The River. Thanks to our sponsor,  Tommy Car Auto: Country Hyundai, Country Nissan, Northampton Volkswagen, Volvo Cars Pioneer Valley and Genesis of Northampton.
