The 12 Bands of Christmas® CD and Concert is an Augusta, GA charity event that also gives some of the area's finest musicians a platform to showcase their talent. Twelve local artists are chosen to record Christmas songs for a CD compilation and perform live in concert at the Imperial Theatre in December. This year's artist list includes a few names known outside of the Augusta area. These musicians have some sort of tie to the Augusta area - they once lived here, their family lives here or they just love playing here. Whatever the connection, they are excited to be a part of our holiday tradition. Proceeds from the 2008 12 Bands of Christmas CD and Concert go to support programs at MCG Health Children's Medical Center.
