DISCOVER! | NOVEMBER 26, 2016 16 | Sounds JINGLE ALL THE WAY Familiar trio to present holiday concert RYLAN HOWE STAFF WRITER Damon, Dave and Ryan. Three musicians familiar to many in the Iowa Great Lakes. Specifically Damon Dotson, Dave Rowley and Ryan Sather, and once again they will be putting on a holiday show at the Pearson Lakes Art Center. The trio is set to perform Saturday, Dec. 3, at 7:30 p.m. Tickets range from $25 for non-members to $20 for members and $15 for students. And be sure to reserve those tickets early. The show attracts a large crowd and often sells out. “These three are well-known around here and throughout the community,” performing arts director Amanda Schindler said. “It’s fun to get them together. They’re hilarious, come up with fun stories and have a great time interacting with each other and the audience.” As a holiday show, there will be plenty of familiar Christmas tunes, as well as some original music, performed throughout the night. Some of those songs heard every year around this time often get a unique twist to amp up the entertainment. Maybe it’s a gospel or blues version of “Frosty the Snowman,” a funky, jazz version of “Jingle Bells,” or a reggae version of “Walking in a Winter Wonderland.” “There will be a little bit of everything and we mix in some originals,” Rowley said. “Of course people like to hear their favorites so there are some perennials we do every year that people like and want to hear. Damon does a great version of ‘Hallelujah’ by Leonard Cohen and I can’t say enough about what Ryan does with all the At a Glance: WHAT: Damon, Dave & Ryan Holiday Show WHERE: Pearson Lakes Art Center, Okoboji, IA WHEN: 7:30-9 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 3 COST: $25/non-members, $20/members, $15/students CONTACT: 712-332-7013 ONLINE: www.lakesart.org different arrangements of songs.” Sather said making up those arrangements is something he thoroughly enjoys. “Creating a fun take on all these familiar songs and adding our own flavor or twists to them is so interesting and fun to try to do,” Sather said. Both Rowley and Sather had played with Damon on their own before they all three came together to perform their holiday shows. Sather said they had a great synergy. The most challenging part is probably finding time to practice as all three have their full-time jobs to attend to when not playing music. Joining Damon, Dave and Ryan onstage will be local saxophone player Brian Moore as well as Joe Cuttell, an Iowa Rock ‘n’ Roll Music Association Hall of Fame inductee, on guitar. The result of having so many talented musicians on stage is a holiday show that has become a staple at the Pearson Lakes Art Center each winter. “We have a good time and it gets us all in the holiday mood and spirit of the Christmas season,” Rowley said. “When we walk in we want everyone to be able to enjoy themselves in the moment like we’re in someone’s living room all having fun together.” Spend even just a few minutes around Rowley and Sather and it’s clear they like to have a good time with these performances. “Damon is kind of like the front man and Dave’s mostly the comic relief,” Sather, who plays piano, said with a laugh. Rowley does sing and play some instruments as well, including the ukelele on a version of Roger Miller’s “King of the Road.” “It’s a lot of fun to put on this show. The feedback is so positive and the audience is great. I just feel honored to get to participate,” Sather said. All told, the audience is in for a good time enjoying great music and some classic Christmas songs with a twist only Damon, Dave a n d Ryan could provide. F Okoboji | Iowa
