Hometown Band To Ring In The Holidays At Doylestown's Puck

DOYLESTOWN BOROUGH, PA ? Doylestown rockers - Ceramic Animal - returns to Puck Live by Great Barn for a holiday extravaganza entitled "Two Nights In Tinkertown" on Dec. 21 and 22.

Following the success of last year's Tinkertown show, the band promises even more seasonal cheer with their signature psych pop takes on Christmas classics, special guest appearances, exclusive merch, and a traditional Tinkertown gift for their frenzied fans.

Ceramic Animal will also perform an extensive set of originals spanning five solid studio albums from 2016's "The Cart" to their latest, "Cosmic Eraser," just released in November.

Emboldened by the experience with Dan Auerbach of The Black ys during their critically acclaimed collaboration, "Sweet Unknown" in 2022, "Cosmic Eraser" marks a return to Ceramic Animal's roots ? sonically revisiting the glam and psychedelic influences that initially defined them, but infused with the maturity and depth garnered from their journey with Auerbach.

Independently released, the album is packed with dynamic tracks that speak to the unbreakable bond between its members - the Regan brothers, Chris (vocals, guitar), Erik (drums), and Elliott (vocals, keys) - alongside childhood friends Anthony Marchione (guitar) and Dallas Hosey (vocals, bass).

Through its lyrics and melodies, "Cosmic Eraser" explores themes of introspection, renewal, and the eternal quest for connection, all while maintaining the band's blend of exuberant energy and reflective depth.

The evening is presented by Stage United, a Bucks County-based nonprofit whose mission is to inspire the region through greater access to live music.

"It's been a phenomenal first year as a nonprofit. We've produced Picnics On Pine, A Night Of Song at the TileWorks, and now Tinkertown," says Joe Montone, founder of Stage United. He

continues, "We not only celebrate powerful performances through Stage United, but also the community that makes it possible. And so, this will be an extra special treat for Christmas!"

Tickets for "Two Nights In Tinkertown" are available via the Stage United website, stageunited.org.

Puck Live by Great Barn is located at 1 Printer's Aly in Doylestown. The event will be held indoors with guest arrival at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $25. This is a 21+ show. Attendees under 21 can be admitted with a parent or guardian.
