‘Tis the season for Home Alone. Asheville-based Holy Ghost Tent Revival’s affection for the film inspired its upcoming holiday show. “We’re hoping to really deck out The Mothlight with nods to some of the movie’s most famous moments, and we’re going to play our favorites from the soundtrack interspersed with our own material,” says vocalist/guitarist Dulci Ellenberger. “One of the best things about that movie is how low the stakes actually are, so you’re able to just let go and revel in the slapstick comedy and overall good-time holiday feeling. With this show so close to Christmas, we want to give people the opportunity to do just that: Let go, get a little silly and enjoy time with friends.” The band will perform at The Mothlight on Friday, Dec. 23, at 9 p.m. $10/$12. themothlight.com.
