Sue Foley and GA-20 bring a holiday blues bill to Homer on Dec. 10

Two months after a solo night at the Center for the Arts, the blues guitarist comes back to Homer with GA-20 on their 'Together for the Holidays' run.

Sue Foley was just in Homer. On Oct. 4, she played the Center for the Arts of Homer under the banner "One Guitar Woman" — just her and a guitar on the Main Street stage. On Thursday, Dec. 10, she's back in the same room with a very different show: a holiday bill with GA-20.

The show starts at 8 p.m. Tickets are $59.50 through Tixr, and the date was announced Oct. 21. The Center holds 400, and a return visit this quick — with a full band bill this time — suggests the October crowd made an impression.

The tour is called Together for the Holidays, and Homer is one stop on a short December run pairing Foley with GA-20. The same billing turns up on venues' own calendars around the Northeast: Infinity Music Hall in Norfolk, Conn., lists "Sue Foley & GA-20: Together for the Holidays" for Dec. 4, and Brooklyn Bowl has the pairing on Dec. 6. Homer lands a few days later, in the middle of the run, when the band will have the set worked out and the room will have the season's first real cold outside.

In October it was one guitar. In December it's a holiday blues revue.

There may be new material in the set, too. The Tobin Center in San Antonio, announcing its own Foley holiday show for Nov. 14, describes it as tied to a new holiday recording expected this fall. The title hasn't surfaced in what we could find, so consider it a pleasant unknown — but it's a good bet the December shows will lean on it.

What the pairing promises is a night of blues guitar in two flavors. Foley's October visit was about her playing alone, close and exposed. GA-20 bring the band side of the equation, and putting them together on a holiday bill turns a seasonal concert into something with a bit more grit than the usual December fare.

The room helps. The Center for the Arts of Homer is the kind of place that makes a 400-person show feel like a gathering — a former church on South Main Street, with a 400-seat theater that draws audiences from across New York State. For Syracuse readers, it's a straight shot down I-81.

If you saw her in October, this is the chance to hear what she sounds like with company. If you missed that one, this is the show to make up for it.
