After the overwhelming success of last year\u2019s Crosby Stills and Nash (and sometimes Young) tribute concert, the Celebration Ensemble band is back together again only this year they will be playing Eagles songs at the Ransom Steele Tavern in Apalachin on Dec. 14 instead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Originally formed as a one-off of local professional musicians, the event last year was so successful and the musicians had so much fun they came back for another year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been a blast, this is the best group of people and we have so much fun together and I am so glad we are doing it again,\u201d said Michael Wu, musician and band organizer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The decision to choose the Eagles for this year\u2019s performance wasn\u2019t an easy one, he added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe had a short list and I think the vocals are the strength of this group, so keeping that in mind I knew the Eagles have lush harmonies and good depth to their vocals and I knew that was something I wanted to highlight as a group,\u201d Wu said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The music lead itself to the Celebration Ensemble\u2019s strengths, combined with the fact that the Eagles have a plethora of popular music and still have a greatest hits album that consistently charts in the top 100. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Eagles\u2019 catalogue is super expansive, we actually had to par songs down,\u201d Wu said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Singer and local musician Mallory Evans said that she grew up on the Eagles, and that popularity should help this year\u2019s event be a success as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEvery single one of us are musicians working in other groups and it is highly rewarding working with this great group,\u201d Evans said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wu agreed and called the upcoming concert a labor of love. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe just want to make sure we have the best show we can put forward,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the current focus is on making this year\u2019s show a success Wu said the hope is that the Celebration Ensemble becomes an annual thing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe plan is to always do it next year, I mean the Crosby Stills and Nash and Young concert last year was only meant to be one show but people wanted to book us and it was fun, so we ended up doing a few more shows last year and that motivated us to stick together and look to maybe to do one of these once a year,\u201d Wu said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the meantime Wu said presales for this year\u2019s concert are strong. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe response that we are coming back has been strong, resale\u2019s moving at a good clip. We are grateful for what seems to be a lot of buzz so if people are looking to go I would recommend a presale ticket, which is cheaper and guarantees you entrance, than trying to buy one the day of the show,\u201d Wu said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
