2024 Holiday Season Dates

Vince Guaraldi’s timeless A Charlie Brown Christmas soundtrack is brought to life in this special live performance, featuring the full score (and more!) by a five-piece ensemble of acclaimed touring musicians.



The band includes Mark Masefield (Dave Hause, Johnny Miller) on piano and accordion, Cameron Lockwood (Fletcher) on drums, Cody McCorry (Thank You Scientist, We Used to Cut the Grass) on upright bass and tuba, and the Ocean Avenue Stompers horns, with Joe Gullace (Civilians) on trumpet and Ian Gray (bandleader of Ocean Avenue Stompers) on trombone.


Cartoon band: bassist, drummer, and two trumpeters play happily. One person sits with a blanket. Green drums, yellow trumpets featured.

Entertaining kids from 1 to 92, the group puts its own spin on Guaraldi’s holiday classics with extended improvisation, soulful horn arrangements, and a joyful, collaborative spirit. 


Originally launched as a 2023–2024 residency in Asbury Park, the show continues to feature its original core lineup while welcoming rotating guests from the region’s top bands, including musicians like Neal Pawley (Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes).


Adding a unique visual layer to the performance is a custom animation collaboration that pays tribute to the original Charlie Brown film. The screen comes to life with playful, ever-changing animations of the musicians on stage, evolving throughout the set as new performers are featured, creating an immersive, nostalgic experience that blends live music with classic holiday imagery.



This is more than a concert—it’s a warm, visually rich celebration of the season, perfect for music venues, breweries, art spaces, and holiday gatherings of all kinds.
