Folksinger and songsmith DAVID HB DRAKE will present his 43rd Annual “Let There Be Light!” Christmas Concert at Mitchell Park Domes in Milwaukee, WI on Sunday, December 22 at 1 pm. The concert is free with regular Domes admission.
Let There Be Light! is a concert of seasonal folk songs, popular tunes, original songs and traditional carols. The program covers the spectrum of seasonal music from little known folksongs to everyone's favorites, spiced with sing-alongs and good cheer! The program ranges from the first carol sung in North America to English wassails, French carols, memories of Christmas trees and marvelous toys. David performs on a variety of handmade folk instruments including mountain banjo, mountain dulcimer, concertina, Native American flute and guitar.

Many of these songs appear on his “LET THERE BE LIGHT” CD with Elizabeth Friedman, who has often performed with David in his annual Christmas Concert at the Mitchell Park Domes in Milwaukee as the duo “Sweet Survivor”. CDs are available through www.davidhbdrake.com
