An Evening with Nellie McKay at the Ponte Vedra Concert Hall
Led by a trail of incense and a little voice at the back of her brain
that whispers “Nice try, 60s,” Nellie McKay travels to a land of
strange and wonderful music on My Weekly Reader, revisiting some
of the melodies born out of that fertile, conflicted time. In this album,
she covers songs from the era of political turmoil and creative
delight by Zappa, Ray Davies, Steve Miller, Country Joe McDonald,
and then some. Doors open at 7 p.m.; performance at
8 p.m. Admission is $43.50 and $38.50. 1050 A1A North,

Nights of Lights
During Nights of Lights, St. Augustine glows with holiday magic - from
the ground to the rooftops.  Selected by National Geographic in 2011
and 2012 as one of the 10 best holiday lighting displays in the world,
St. Augustine’s Night of Lights features millions of tiny white lights
that create a magical atmosphere in the Nation’s oldest city. Tracing
its origins to the Spanish tradition of displaying a white candle in
the window during the Christmas holidays, the spectacular lighting
reflects the city’s 451-year history and illuminates the beautiful setting
for lasting holiday memories. www.nightsoflights.com
