From the Del Norte Association for Cultural Awareness:

Two-time Grammy Award-winning Jazz musician Mads Tolling and his band The Mads Men will be kicking-off the holiday season with their show Cool Yule, a Nordic Holiday Celebration, which blends authentic customs and music of Nordic countries with the joy and spirit of American jazz. The concert will be held on Saturday November 4th, at 7:00 p.m., at the Betty Green Event Center (inside Elk Valley Casino), 2021 Elk Ranch Rd., Crescent City.

Cool Yule includes a special nod to Tolling’s childhood in Denmark, with a tribute to the country’s most famous fairy-tale author Hans Christian Andersen through a medley of songs from Frozen and other fables. The show will also include a salute to Julemanden (Santa Claus), and jazz renditions of your favorite American holiday songs including Santa Baby, My Favorite Things, The Christmas Song, and more. The concert will also feature Yuletide classics from other Nordic countries such as På Loftet sidder nissen (Denmark), I am so glad each Christmas Eve (Norway), Julakotturinn The Christmas Cat (Iceland), and Sankta Lucia (Sweden).
