Guitarist and singer Peter Mayer of the Peter Mayer Group and Jimmy Buffett’s Coral Reefer Band will perform his 18th annual Stars and Promises Christmas tour, When You Come Home, on Friday, Dec. 15 at Hope Community Church in Olmsted Falls. The seasonal performance features imaginative arrangements of traditional and original carols, composed and led by Mayer and his ensemble of versatile musicians in 15 cities across the country. “This year, our theme for Stars and Promises is ‘When You Come Home,’ and I think we can all resonate with the passion for a hometown welcome at Christmas time,” said Peter Mayer, guitarist and singer for the Peter Mayer Group. “The holiday season is celebrated around the world in song, from concert halls to shopping malls, and we are thrilled to be a part of families’ yearly traditions as we begin our 18th year of holiday performances.” Mayer is joined by a world class ensemble of musicians, featuring Chris Walters on piano (Bela Fleck, Alabama, J.D. Souther), Miles Vandiver on drums (Tom Kennedy, Ray Kennedy, Brian Owens), Mark Holland on native flute (Autumn’s Child, Oregon), Kristin Weber on violin and fiddle (Lorde, Kacey Musgraves, Lee Ann Womack), singer-songwriter Brendan Mayer and Zeb Briskovich (Clark Terry, Grady Tate, the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra) on bass. The night will feature a collection of timeless carols, original songs and stories, which celebrate the magical Christmas season when families come together from near and far to share gifts of peace, joy, faith and love. The world-class musical performance is accompanied by a beautiful stage production, lighting and pristine sound. The Stars and Promises tradition is a celebration of story and song that rings in the Christmas spirit. The Peter Mayer Group and ‘Stars & Promises’ tour has donated more than $100,000 to local charities throughout the United States to raise funds that make a significant impact to local communities. A portion of the funds from the Dec. 15 performance will be donated to the Ronald MacDonald House of Cleveland.
