Gerhard was awarded the coveted GRAMMY® Award this year for Best Pop Instrumental Album. His critically acclaimed holiday recordings, Christmas and On A Cold Winter's Night, continue to garner raves. Boston Globe calls Christmas "...the best holiday recording of the year... rivetingly lovely...this is a gem." Selections from Christmas are featured in the Ken Burns documentary Mark Twain. From sold-out tours of Japan to guitar festivals in Italy, Gerhard's music has touched audiences all over the world. His latest release, House of Guitars has Frets Magazine praising it as "... a creative and sonic masterpiece."

In the season of giving the Mill will be doing a food drive at the concert. Bring a non-perishable food item to benefit Community Action/Laconia Area Food Pantry and receive a $1-off coupon for any CD at the CD tables. One donation per CD, please.

Gerhard will perform Christmas favorites, as well as selected compositions of his own. Fans of guitar music and Christmas alike will want to be a part of this memorable show.
