It was Christmas Time with Stephanie McIlroy at Coffee Cultures in St. Thomas, Thursday December 4th as she treated the packed coffee house to her new song, It’s Christmas Time plus a selection of her traditional holiday favourites.
Between festive tunes, Stephanie reflected on the special meanings the songs have for her. Then she called upon the band to join in, with “Lets rock this coffee shop!” - which they proceeded to do. Stephanie carried the crowd along through performances of her own songs and a number of well-known popular hits. Launching into Queen of Hearts, she enthused, “I love this song,” and the audience clearly loved the McIlroy and band rendition of it and others throughout the evening.
