Holiday concerts can sometimes be hokey, but not Raul Malo's Christmas Party. Every year it is always a fun mix of Christmas tunes (including an awesome version of "Marshmallow World"), new tunes from Raul, and favorite hits from The Mavericks (Malo's former band). This year it's being held at the historic Scottish Rite Auditorium in Collingswood, NJ. Two years ago the concert was a festive, romantic event at The Broadway Theatre of Pitman. Last year, it was held at the Borgata's Music Box Theater, where things got a little out of hand with one drunken concert goer jumping up on stage, dancing around, and later declaring herself part of the show. Either way, it's obvious that Raul is a crowd-pleaser, so head on over to the Scottish Rite on Saturday to see for yourself. Aside from the Christmas songs, he's sure to play a varied lineup of his own songs, mixed with the standards that he covers so well (Michael Bublé should take a lesson from Raul.) Even if you are not very familiar with Raul's music, you will surely enjoy the evening.
