NEW ORLEANS (press release) – ‘Tis the season. Well, almost. Get a jumpstart on the holidays with André Darlington November 16 as he celebrates the release of his latest book, “A Booze & Vinyl Christmas: Merry Music-and-Drink Pairings to Celebrate the Season.”
Whether you’re planning your annual Ugly Christmas Sweater Party, spending a quiet evening by the stocking-lined fireplace at home, or preparing to binge Hallmark Channel’s Countdown to Christmas, make the season festive with this guide to forty favorite holiday albums from the 1940s to the present. Divided into four thematic chapters—Rock the Halls, Warm & Fuzzy, Jazzy & Classical, and Gift-Wrapping Station, each entry features liner notes on the album and accompanying boozy beverage recipes that complement the music or connect the drink to the artist.
The spirited evening will kickoff at 6:00. Guests will be able to sample cocktails from the book before Darlington sits down with The Garden District Book Shop’s very own Josh-Wade Ferguson to discuss all things “A Booze & Vinyl Christmas.” Afterwards, he will be floating around the shop and personalizing copies of his books.
General Admission tickets can be purchased for $5. Interested parties can also reserve their copy of A Booze & Vinyl Christmas for $32 which includes general admission and one copy. Additional copies and Darlington’s other books will be available for purchase at the event.
