Thanks to their guidance, Scrooge recognizes his faults and greets Christmas morning with a cheerful “Happy Christmas” before spending the day reconnecting and sharing love with those that mean the most to him.

Afrosonics - Holiday Blast Off!
2025-12-07 19:00 | Treefort Music Hall, 722 W. Broad Street, Boise, ID, 83702, United States
Out of the desire to bring communities together, Afrosonics creates music featuring a collective of musicians from the Middle East, Europe, Africa, South America and the United States. At the heart of the group’s progression, the band has conscientiously integrated new American musicians (former refugees from war torn areas of the world) into the collective that is Afrosonics. The genre twist deepens with the infusion Idaho musicians into the collective with roots in country, rock, jazz and opera.
In a world of negative messages, we represent a positive hope to bring a harmonious voice to all.
