THE ORNAMENTS
A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS
The Ornaments originated in 2005 as three friends decided they would play the music of their favorite holiday TV special, Charles Schultz’ A Charlie Brown Christmas, with its brilliant soundtrack by Vince Guaraldi, at their favorite local watering hole, and since then their shows have grown steadily into a Nashville holiday tradition. It’s a band that only exists one month a year, as all of the players work steadily as freelance musicians with other artists for the rest of the year.
