“This live nativity experience is PVPC’s biggest annual event, with bustling streets, boisterous vendors, live animals, loud tax collectors, leering Roman guards and, of course, a portrayal of Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus. An entertaining pre-show and cookies, hot chocolate and Christmas carols at the trail’s end round out a spectacular evening of deeply meaningful family fun.”

The Falling Bones is Rick Levy on guitar and vocals, Long John Higginbotham on harmonica and vocals

Rick says of the event, “Firstly, it is always a joy to play for our old and new fans. The sound was MUCH improved this year over past years, and that made playing much easier..and more fun. THE FALLING BONES always have fun, and when I get to play with WILLIE GREEN>.that’s an extra treat. That being said, I frankly did not like the events field as the venue for the Lincolnville Festival. The tradition of being in Lincolnville should be upheld, as I think the community vibe in a smaller area is much more family like. Hopefully some thought will go into future choices for venues.”

Rick Ambrose, Music Coordinator and Drummer for the Willie Green Blues Project Band

Rick Ambrose commented, “Almost every band came up to me and said, how well the sound was done and how clear it was to them. The monitors were perfect they could hear themselves, usually I don’t hear that from all the bands, as the coordinator. Willie G himself said he liked the way he could hear himself, it went really smooth. The crowd said, it was just the right volume unlike some festivals that were too loud. This one was just right, everything went on schedule. There were no hold ups or problems. There was no waiting around. The whole concert went right on schedule and on time. I was amazed.”
