‘American Christmas Classics’ is a concert tradition presented by McKinley Black since 2008. The show was created at the request of Uschi Kleinert, then director of WABE, and has grown over the years into a warm, soulful celebration of American Christmas music.


The programme brings together Christmas songs from the American Songbook, characterised by influences from blues, soul, jazz and swing.


Over the years, Mckinley has invited many guest artists to join her on stage, making each edition of the concert a unique experience in its own right. This year, Mckinley is particularly delighted to welcome INDIJANA as a special guest. Also joining her once again are VLADI on guitar and THOMAS HOPPE on double bass.


INDIJANA has a powerful, soulful, earthy blues voice that fills the room from the very first note. She combines intensity, individuality and pure joy in performing. Inspired by legends such as Etta James, Bonnie Raitt and Ray Charles, she blends soul, Texas blues, rhythm & blues and a touch of the Berlin urban sound.
