The annual Christmas benefit for Stand Up For Animals returns to The Knick December 11. The show will open with The Carleans, one of the area’s most popular groups, performing a roots-tinged holiday set. A rock and roll Christmas set will follow, performed by Speziale and Friends, a local all-star “super group” featuring the amazing vocal stylings of singer Amie Coffey. Amie, a pet adoption advocate, is traveling all the way from her home in Alabama to be part of this show. Well known in this area for her singing in a number of great bands, her versions of popular Christmas rock tunes are always show stoppers. This rare local appearance is guaranteed to make the show something special!
