If you’re thinking about getting tickets for one of Jeff Daniels’ “Onstage and Unplugged” concerts at the Purple Rose Theatre in Chelsea, you might want to act soon. Though none of the seven performances, happening December 26-January 2, are currently sold out, most have only a few seats still available.

The intimate, mostly lighthearted shows offer a close-up view of Daniels —Chelsea’s homegrown star of stage and screen — as a songwriter, musician and storyteller. Performing alone, mostly on an acoustic guitar, Daniels intersperses personal anecdotes between his original folk/blues songs, and each year brings new material.

Of course, some Daniels’ favorites, like “If William Shatner Can, I Can Too,” have become “Unplugged” staples. But no matter what’s on the set list, the main attraction is Daniels himself, whose warmth and dry wit make him an irresistibly charming performer.

Jeff Daniels: Onstage and Unplugged What: Daniels performs his original folk/blues tunes in an intimate setting and lightheartedly talks about his experiences and songwriting process. Where: Purple Rose Theatre, 137 Park St. in Chelsea. When: December 26 at 3 and 8 p.m.; December 27 at 2 p.m.; December 31 at 3 and 8 p.m.; and January 2 at 3 and 8 p.m. How much: $75 a ticket. Information: For tickets, call 734-433-7673 (ROSE) or visit the Rose's Web site.
