Normally, cheesy Christmas events are accompanied by equally cheesy Christmas music, but this is certainly not the case at this year’s Seaport tree lighting ceremony. It seems South Street Seaport’s resident musician Martin Clancy has re-formed his band The Elves of Heaven to perform at the ceremony; you may recognize him from the set he played last month at the Witness Protection Programme where he shared the stage with Black Lips, Sea Wolf, Casiokids and others.

Taking place November 26th at 6 pm, the band will be accompanied by a 40-piece choir and soul singer Darlene Love. The band will be performing songs from their EP, This Christmas, which is was released this week.
