The Embers brought their annual Christmas show to the Paramount Theatre on Monday night, and the veteran beach music band did not disappoint.
From traditional songs such as the opening "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year," to the soulful "O Come All Ye Faithful," from the bluesy "Bells Will Be Ringing," to the rollicking "Jingle Bell Rock," the group showed why it continues to pack venues 50 years after its creation.
Lead singer Craig Woolard said the band's Christmas shows are special to members of the band and that coming back to Goldsboro is always like coming home.
"It's really gratifying to see the people's response to us performing the Christmas music they grew up listening to," Woolard said.
