Make this a Christmas tradition.
Patrick Lamb and a full live band reimagine Vince Guaraldi's beloved score — Linus and Lucy, Skating, Christmas Time Is Here — as a soul-soaked, horn-driven holiday concert. Familiar enough for the kids. Brilliant enough for the jazz crowd. A night that becomes the night you do every December.
Every melody you remember, arranged with the warmth, swing, and surprise of a real working jazz ensemble. Not a tribute. A reading.
Patrick on saxophone and lead vocal, surrounded by a top-shelf rhythm section and a hot horn line. A holiday show with serious chops.
Grandparents who first heard it in '65. Parents who grew up on it. Kids hearing the melodies for the first time. One night, all of them.
Audio on. Press coverage from Delray Beach — and a handful of moments from the stage.
The Charlie Brown Christmas show plus Patrick's full December calendar — Holiday Soul Tour stops and the New Year's Eve Gala.

A working jazz ensemble. Decades of nights together. The kind of band that turns a Christmas concert into a Christmas show.
A family Christmas built around the legendary music of Vince Guaraldi. Three-time Muddy Award winner, Oregon Music Hall of Fame inductee, recipient of the Children's Cancer Association Hero Award, the City of Portland's Independent Spirit Award, and the Yolanda Denise King Arts Award — but the show is what people come for.
Started in a garage band on guitar; switched to keys the night he first heard the Beatles' White Album. Decades on, he's logged international stages with Nancy King, toured Europe with the Alan Jones Sextet, played PDX Jazz Fest with Kurt Elling, and recorded with the Metropole Orchestra and the Skol Brothers. The piano chair is in good hands.
Joined onstage in Bend by a children's choir from the local community — the part of the night that gets the loudest applause.
Bend, Oregon. The Oxford Hotel's intimate listening room. The band on stage — and for a few songs, a children's choir from the Bend area joining the chorus. It's been a December tradition for years.
This December: three nights, December 14 & 15. A matinee and evening on Monday the 14th, plus a final evening set on Tuesday the 15th.
Patrick Lamb is the real deal. The voice, the horn, the heart — all of it.

Patrick Lamb's Charlie Brown Christmas began as a one-night benefit and quickly became a holiday tradition. Two decades and an annual Christmas tour later, the answer to "what are you doing in December?" has become, for a lot of families, "the same thing we do every year — Patrick's Christmas show."
