This just in from NUVO! "Claude McNeal Productions rings in the season with “Rock & Roll Christmas,” a lively mashup of holiday cheer, classic hits, and unabashed showmanship that feels like someone plugged a Christmas card into an amp and cranked it to 11. It is touted as “a one-of-a-kind cabaret musical experience,” and I guarantee you won’t get this kind of get-up-and-dance Christmas concert anywhere else."

"Claude McNeal Productions knows its audience, and "Rock & Roll Christmas” gives them exactly what they’ve come for: a feel-good, high-energy holiday celebration wrapped in guitar riffs and good vibes. If you’re looking to shake up your seasonal traditions with something louder and looser, “Rock & Roll Christmas” is well worth unwrapping. "
