EARLVILLE – The Platinum recording artists Squirrel Nut Zippers (SNZ) are bringing their joyous, raucous Holiday Caravan Tour to the Earlville Opera House on Thursday, December 7 at 7 p.m.

This year, they’re performing all of the hits from Christmas past featuring songs from their “Christmas Caravan” and “Mardi Gras for Christmas” albums as well as other Zippers favorites.

From heartwarming ballads to boisterous dance tunes, the band conjures an atmosphere nestled somewhere between the wondrous lights of Christmas and the backroom din of a speakeasy. This show is a must-see for any true music lover

Inspired by 1920s jazz, klezmer and vaudeville, SNZ’s endlessly curious and innovative leader Jimbo Mathus has  concocted a  sound truly unique and original. No other artist of his generation has embraced and synthesized eclectic influences in such a seamless,  authentic manner. This unique blend is on full  display with the Holiday Caravan show, which  has increasingly grown in popularity, selling out venues throughout the United States.

SNZ have sold over three million albums to-date with their watershed album, “Hot” (1996), making them a household name. Recorded in the heat of New Orleans, fueled by a smoldering mix of booze and a youthful hunger to unlock the secrets of old-world jazz, this pivotal release was just the beginning for the band.
