\"APSUClarksville, TN<\/strong> – Here are a few things that David Steinquest, Austin Peay State University professor of music, enjoys: the holidays, the APSU Percussion Ensemble, music by James Taylor and Dave Barnes and relaxed gatherings with friends.<\/p>\n

At 7:30pm on December 7th, he\u2019s bringing all these elements together for a special holiday concert, \u201cMy Favorite Things,\u201d at the APSU Music\/Mass Communication Building\u2019s Mabry Concert Hall.The concert will feature a band made up of Steinquest\u2019s favorite musicians \u2013 guitarist Paul Carrol Blinkley, bass player Brad Albin, drummer Matt DeVore and vocalists Allison Campbell and David Alford \u2013 performing on a stage decorated like a living room decked out for Christmas.<\/p>\n

Blinkley formerly played with the country music group Alabama, and Albin regularly performs with Vince Gill and The Time Jumpers. Alford can be seen every week on ABC\u2019s \u201cNashville\u201d as the character Bucky Dawes. Accompanying Steinquest and this group of friends will be the APSU Percussion Ensemble.<\/p>\n

\u201cI use the percussion ensemble in this concert kind of like an orchestra at a pops concert,\u201d he said. \u201cThe percussion ensemble is an expansion of the sound. It\u2019s just a bigger sound.\u201d<\/p>\n

The evening\u2019s holiday program will have a sort of pop\/jazzy sound, featuring works by some of Steinquest\u2019s favorite artists, including James Taylor\u2019s arrangement of \u201cWho Comes This Night\u201d and Family Force 5\u2019s arrangement of \u201cMy Favorite Things.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA number of these tunes are ones people know, but I\u2019ve taken them and adapted them,\u201d he said. \u201cWhat you get are songs you think you know, like \u2018O Holy Night,\u2019 but you\u2019ll be saying, \u2018I never would have imaged it that way.\u2019 It\u2019s almost bluegrass, with that sort of mellow sound.\u201d<\/p>\n

The program will also feature the APSU Percussion Ensemble performing an arrangement by Steinquest titled \u201cThe Twelve Daze of Christmas.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt goes through 12 different keys,\u201d he said. \u201cIt gets really interesting and fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

The evening, Steinquest assures, will be a relaxed, family-friendly event, more like a gathering of friends than a formal concert. Admission to the event is either two cans of food, donated to Loaves and Fishes, or $3.00.<\/p>\n
