Drummer Tom Maher has been delivering toys to Children’s Hospital for almost 15 years. In 2012 he had a mission: play rock and roll holiday songs for the children he was delivering the toys to. So he called his old friend Jon Svetkey and asked if he could put a band together. Jon made a few calls and a yearly tradition was born.

The band — which includes Tom and Jon, Everett Pendleton on bass, Heather Quay on vocals, Rob Laurens on keyboards, and First Church Belmont favorites Jim Wooster on guitar and Jeff Isen on percussion, trombone, harmonica and more! — will be performing a collection of fun, upbeat holiday rock and roll songs that everyone can sing along to. The crazy fun part? Immediately following the FCB performance they will pack everything up and drive over to Children’s Hospital to do it all again at 4pm!

So bring your family, bring a new and unwrapped toy or two, sing along, dance and enjoy this very special Second Friday Coffeehouse holiday concert.
