Christmas with David Steinquest and Friends returns to APSU December 3rd
November 5, 2021
Clarksville, TN – If you squint, the asterisk almost looks like a snowflake, which means the symbol is on the theme when referring to the 12th* Annual Christmas with David Steinquest and Friends concert.
Why the asterisk? It’s tacked onto the title because the holiday tradition began in 2009 at Austin Peay State University (APSU), but then the COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic put a halt to last year’s show.
