Shashi Light Charles will play and sing a free concert 2-4 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 9, at Mesa Public Library in the Upstairs Rotunda.
Her program will include holiday songs and some original work, all presented in her unique jazz-folk fusion style.
Charles fell in love with music at an early age, which beckoned her into singing (badly but passionately) and plinking on the piano and plucking on the guitar. Trilling and frolicking her way through school and community stage productions, she began to feel a soulful satisfaction from musical self-expression.
She spent several years traveling around the United States playing music and ended up in Nashville, where she played at places like The Nashville Palace, The Commodore, The Bluebird Cafe, Douglas Corner, The Broken Spoke, etc.
She loves to share her music with others, so the community is invited to join her for an afternoon of some Christmas favorites, other fun tunes, and an original or two. Performing with her is Bill Waganaar on acoustic guitar and Joy Charles on cello.
Seating is limited in the Upstairs Rotunda, and people will be turned away when the room capacity is reached – so come early and enjoy the show! Also, pick up a copy of the 100 Days of Winter booklet at either library.
The Los Alamos County Library System is a division of the Community Services Department.
