Sonic Seasonings Classic (December 15th, 2025)
Will Ackerman & Friends and the California Guitar Trio.
In 2013, a collection of veteran musicians and one icon gathered in Imaginary Road Studio in Vermont, the home of Windham Hill Records founder and guitarist Will Ackerman. Will is joined by oboist Jill Haley, famed for her National Parks record series, her husband, Grammy-award winning guitarist David Cullen, pianist Kori Linae Carothers, trumpeter Jeff Oster, and former-Bob Dylan violinist Scarlet Rivera. They mix and match personnel for performances of seasonal songs and originals. Rounding out the two hours is a seasonal performance by The California Guitar Trio. These three virtuoso musicians, disciples of Robert Fripp’s Guitar Craft courses and frequent opening act for King Crimson, create an intricate clockwork of guitar interpretations of seasonal songs and original pieces.

An Echoes Night Before Christmas (December 24, 2024)
Get the sugar plums dancing with an Echoes Night Before Christmas. It’s a time when life seems suspended between the Christmas build-up and the explosion of Christmas morning.

John Diliberto decorates your ears with seasonal music that’s cool and chilled on an Echoes Night Before Christmas.
