The New Standards Holiday Show rings in the yule with a unique twist on traditional holiday concerts—one part variety show, one part homage to the season, one part irreverent, free-wheeling spectacle.

The trio is joined by a supporting cast replete with vocalists, instrumentalists, dancers—and as always—a dazzling lineup of surprise special guests which have included comedian/actor/singer John C. Reilly, Lucinda Williams, The B-52's Fred Schneider, Craig Finn of The Hold Steady, the eminent poet Robert Bly, Nellie McKay, Mike Doughty, rapper/singer/author Dessa, and many more. 

This sell-out show has become a beloved annual tradition (going on 19 years) in the Twin Cities and beyond.
