Dave Koz and Friends Christmas Tour

09/10/2012
.
Dave Koz and Friends Christmas Tour will be returning this year for the 15th time but will an even bigger lineup of special guests.

The 2012 edition of the annual Christmas tour will kick off on November 23rd in Sarasota, FL with a return engagement at Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall.

Led by Dave Koz, this year's run is featuring special David Benoit, who appeared in the original 1997 line-up and was instrumental in the tour's creation; Javier Colon, who sang on Koz's Saxophonic album and was the winner of the inaugural season of NBC's hit television show, "The Voice," and the inimitable drummer/percussionist/vocalist Sheila E. (Prince, Cyndi Lauper. Ringo Starr), who makes her debut in the Christmas lineup after appearances on previous Dave Koz & Friends summer tours, and introducing singer/songwriter Margo Rey.

Together the quintet will perform hits from their respective catalogues and jam on fresh, fun arrangements of seasonal favorites. As always, there will be surprises, but Koz hints that the production will take things to a new level and will include a special medley of "Peanuts" holiday music inspired by Benoit, who has paid tribute to Vince Guaraldi's timeless music with several "Peanuts" themed albums.
