It’s that time of year again – the time when thoughts of presents, mega sales and sugarplums dance through your head.

Johnson Family Band- Best original band
This mix of area musicians who share a love of folk music have become a top choice in the area. Their feet are firmly planted in traditional bluegrass, but they also draw on sources outside that realm.

It's music you would hear in the…
