December 16, 2012
By: Diane Szczepanski
Familiar tunes, family atmosphere and quiet reflective songs of the season were a welcome balm to those who had the opportunity to be a part of Wonderland: A Celebration of Christmas at the State Theatre, Friday, December 14th, 2012.
Brian Vander Ark, lead singer and principal songwriter for The Verve Pipe, sold more than 3 million albums worldwide and produced a string of hit singles, including the #1 song 'The Freshmen'.
This night he entertained acoustically along with some of the members of his band, Andy Reed of our own Bay City, being one of them. In addition to Brian, the duo Channing & Quinn and Brian's gifted wife, Lux Land, rounded out an evening of much appreciated talent.
