Widely known for their heartfelt interpretations of classic Christmas songs, Central Standard Time will help the Minnesota Songwriter Sanctuary kick off the holiday season in Henderson with warmth, harmony, and timeless charm.

The Iowa City–based acoustic duo—Matt Hibbard and Charlie Rod—have spent more than 15 years crafting new songs rooted in the American folk tradition. With intertwining acoustic guitars and rich vocal harmonies reminiscent of Simon & Garfunkel and John Prine, their music feels both fresh and familiar.

Honest, unpretentious, and deeply resonant, Central Standard Time creates the kind of songs that sound like memories—perfect for welcoming the holiday season together.
