Helen Welch will be presenting “Helen Welch: A Carpenter’s Christmas” at the Vern Riffe Center for the Arts (VRCFA) at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 7th.
This one-of-a-kind show features Helen Welch and her world-class musicians reliving many of the Carpenter’s timeless hits with classic holiday songs and fascinating stories woven in- between.

The hits are intertwined with Helen's cheeky British humor, stage presence, and fascinating, unheard backstage stories.
