Live Holiday Music Showcased at Johnson City Shopping Mall

So here's a novel idea.  Do your holiday shopping inside surrounded by live music.  That's been the tradition at the Oakdale Mall over the past couple of years and according to a mall spokesperson, shoppers seem to really enjoy it.

The Greater Binghamton area has an abundance of talent and it's nice to have a space to showcase local bands, choirs, instrumentalists and ensembles.

The popular Johnson City shopping mall has a full schedule of local talent to entertain shoppers.  I actually went to high school with Jan DeAngelo and look forward to catching up with this talented piano man before or after his performance.  I always wanted to pick up one of his amazing CD's.
