The Music Tapes caroling again, coming to Raleigh

Photo by Kevin Norris
Julian Koster's merry band of carolers, better known as The Music Tapes, are hitting the road again this year on an impressively long stretch of dates extending from November 4 to January 15. Like last year, the group will be playing at people's homes in each town.

While most of the dates will feature both holiday songs and non-holiday song, the Raleigh, NC date of the tour won't happen until January 9, so the holiday songs will likely be sparse to non-existent. There will be older Music Tapes songs, as well as songs from his forthcoming album due out in 2011.

If you want the group to consider your home on their route, email lullabyedeliveries@gmail.com or send a letter to The Minister of Lullabies at 450 N Harris St, Athens, GA 30601. You have to be willing to host other local guests in your home.

Check out photos, video and a review of one of last year's stops in Chapel Hill here. It was an amazing and unique experience.
