Red Legged Frog Productions presents
A Hawaiian Christmas with CarolinAloha featuring Billy Cardine
Mon, Dec 1 2025 – 7:30 pm
Join Us in the intimate 78 seat Tina McGuire theater for an Hawaiian Christmas!

CarolinAloha is the fusion of three deep passions: the mountains, the ocean, and music. Created by master slide guitarist Billy Cardine, the project draws rich inspiration from the timeless beauty of Hawaiian music.

Cardine has been recognized as a slide guitar pioneer, taking the dobro into unchartered musical genres. His distinct voice on all things slide has led him to collaborations with Led Zeppelin’s John Paul Jones, world-renowned bassist Edgar Meyer in Porous Borders of Music and alongside Jerry Douglas on Southern Filibuster. His unique slide work spans a wide spectrum of genres-from gypsy jazz to bluegrass-and has taken him across North America, Europe, and Asia. He has played legendary stages including Carnegie Hall, The Ryman Auditorium, The Grand Ole Opry, MerleFest, Bonnaroo, and RockyGrass, among many others.

Cocktail table seating upfront is available as well a bar for refreshments located in the theater.

Tuatha Dea combines primal rhythms, melodic and ethereal ballads, and screaming guitar riffs with an Appalachian/Celtic vibe. Born of a family drum circle, they deliver an authentic tribal and clannish feel that not only draws the audience into the music but also into the moment and clan as well. Their rhythmic groove and interaction naturally inspire audience participation, which has become a staple of their performances. From the beginning, the band has embraced its Celtic heritage and meshed the traditional music of Scotland and Ireland with its own bold blend of mainstream rock, mountain drumming, and Appalachian blues to produce a truly unique sound that has a universal appeal! Dubbed “The Eclectic Steam-Punk Partridge Family in Kilts and Corsets” and “The Appalachian Fae”, this band is REAL family!!!

A powerhouse of blues is stepping into the spotlight—this week’s Nothing But Blues Jam welcomes the legendary Mac Arnold for a night you’ll be talking about long after the last note fades.

This electrifying event happens every Tuesday night! Bill and Peggy will rotate as hosts, generally every other week, and will kick off the evening with a set of Blues tunes starting at 7:30 PM. After their set, it’s your time to shine! We’ll have an open jam session where you can bring your instrument or your voice and perform up to three songs. Don’t worry about bringing a backline; the house band has got you covered. (You will need your own guitar, bass, harmonicas, or sticks.) Musicians and singers can sign up at the event, and we strongly encourage everyone to stick to the Blues genre to keep the vibe

What happens when a room full of humans walk on stage with no script… and only Love guiding the moment? Come witness the magic of a Spirited Improv Performance.

A Spirited Improv performance is unlike anything you’ve ever witnessed. More than entertainment, Spirited Improv is an enlivening emergent experience of collective creativity. It’s an improvisational showcase of the human spirit at play with invitations into music-making, dance, singing, acting, costumed silliness, story-telling, and ritual that deeply nourish the heart and soul. It offers a warm, playful, and safe container where laughter, tears, and connection flow freely.

Imagine entering a space where performers have no script, no plan, just a deep trust in Love, in each other, and in the creative aliveness of the moment. As an audience member, you are not just a passive witness; rather, you are part of the alchemy. You are invited to release judgment and practice radical acceptance of yourself and each human in the room, creating an encouraging play space for all. Whether you choose to simply offer your loving presence, share a prompt, tell a story, or step onto stage, you’re woven into the collective experience. What unfolds is spontaneous and sacred, hilarious and healing, shaped by the energy of Love in the room guiding it all.

Past audience member said, “Your spiritual improv was like going to a restaurant for the first time, and having one of the best meals of my life. I LOVED IT and was so grateful to have that unique experience of connection and healing.”

Join us for our Annual Holiday Concert, a celebration of the season filled with choral harmonies, candlelight, and joy. Listening to choral music by candlelight is an experience that feels suspended between sound and silence, light and shadow. The soft flicker of candles transforms the space. The usual sharpness of electric light is gone, replaced by something softer and timeless.
