Jason Mraz | December 9
The acoustic crooner proved he wasn't to be left in 2008—where his hit "I'm Yours" played just about everywhere—when he gave us "I Won't Give Up" in 2012, and again this past April with "Have It All." Bringing others from his discography, Toca Rivera and Gregory Page, he is now giving us the Live in Stereo Tour. $32–$126.50. 8 p.m. Stifel Theatre, 1400 Market.
Urban Chestnut's WinterMarkt | December 8 & 15
The brewery is amping up the holiday season with its European/German WinterMarkt. From noon until 4 p.m., attendees have their choice of 30 different local vendors at which to finish (or start) their holiday shopping, grab a bite to eat, and listen to live music. Beers in hand are definitely a must. Free. Urban Chestnut Brewing Company, 3229 Washington.
93.7 The Bull's Santa Jam | December 7
Join such country artists as Rodney Atkins, Carlton Anderson, Maren Morris, Danielle Bradbery, and a special guest. The 7th annual event's lineup is great, but the cause is even better—proceeds go toward youth in need. $9.37–$93.70. 7:30 p.m. Stifel Theatre, 1400 Market.
The Nutcracker | December 9
Next weekend, you can catch the Saint Louis Ballet putting on the timeless production. This weekend, Dance Experience Performing Arts Studio performs the 7th annual ballet at Logan University's Purser Center. Please direct us to the Land of the Sweets. Reserve seats for $21.50, and general admission is $16.50. Logan University, 1851 Schoettler, Chesterfield.
Harlem Globetrotters | December 9
Breaking from the holiday festivities, this exhibition basketball team's name brings their iconic theme song—"Sweet Georgia Brown"—right with it. Their equally iconic moves will dribble across the court for two shows this weekend, at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Will we ever tire of their antics? Bets are no. Visit website for pricing details, including group and military discounts.
