Rogue Valley is a group from Minneapolis, Minnesota, whose music is rich in tone and texture in ways inspired by the landscape and history of the region. Crater Lake was the first of four albums self-released by the band. Songwriter/Composer Chris Koza wrote the album as an ode to Spring – and to be the first in a four-part series of full-length albums navigating the terrain of love, loss, and wanderlust, and each marked by the changing seasons. Following Crater Lake, Rogue Valley (drummer Luke Anderson, bassist/vocalist Linnea Mohn, guitarist/vocalist Peter Sieve, and keyboardist Joey Kantor) recorded and released three more full-length albums; all in the span of a single year. With Summer came The Bookseller’s House; with Autumn: Geese in the Flyway. And with Winter the band completed their concept-album-cycle with False Floors. Additional musicians on the albums include George Hadfield (bass), Ben Rosenbush (cello), and Kip Jones (violin). Initial writing and recording for these albums took place during the summer of 2009 and they were released beginning April 2010 through April 2011. The band released a 12-song vinyl compilation of a few tracks from each seasons-album in 2012.

At Christmas is a unique blend of family-fueled comedy and drama brilliantly written and performed by three alumni of Dudley Riggs Brave New Workshop, as well as a live, 6-piece band featuring one of the Twin Cities’ favorite front men, Mick Sterling, and A Brave New Workshop’s musical director, Peter Guertin. The presentation of At Christmas is wonderfully simple and minimal. What drives At Christmas are the stories and the music that will ring true with family members of all ages. The 90-minute show is a reflection of what the holidays are—funny, poignant, and heartwarmingly tender.
