Christmastown Tickets

Christmastown is the Christmas-leaning project by Rich Hinman, a Boston-area pedal steel and guitar virtuoso known for bringing jazz sensibilities to ambient, expansive instrumental textures. With a career as a versatile sideman and a standout solo presence, Hinman has collaborated with artists like k.d. lang and Sara Bareilles, and has been recognized by the Americana Music Association for his instrumental prowess. His 2022 album Christmastown blends pedal steel warmth with cinematic arrangements, offering 28 minutes of holiday mood—perfect for listeners who want a musical Christmas experience that feels both intimate and expansive.

Beyond Christmastown, Hinman’s discography showcases a progression from intimate EP work to full albums that fuse jazz, folk, and experimental textures. He actively performs in the Boston area and beyond, presenting festive yet contemplative sets that highlight his signature tone and improvisational approach.

Upcoming shows for 2025 bring Hinman back to familiar rooms like Club Passim and The Lizard Lounge, with collaborations that include Christmastown partners. Secure your seats early to experience his instrumental storytelling live, where pedal steel glides over spacious arrangements and quiet crescendos unfold in real time.
