KENNY ROGERS
CHRISTMAS & HITS
THE HOLIDAY TRADITION CONTINUES...
Music Icon Celebrates 30th Anniversary of
Christmas & Hits Tour
NASHVILLE, TN – Grammy Award-winning music legend Kenny Rogers
will celebrate the 30th Anniversary of his Christmas & Hits Tour in
2011 with a festive show featuring live performances of holiday classics and
his biggest hits. The Christmas portion of the show will be themed
“Christmas In America.” The
one-of-a-kind vocalist and entertainer will perform at venues across America,
joined by special guest Billy Dean, beginning on November 25 in Columbus, Ohio
and wrapping December 23 in Westbury, New York.
Rogers is known for creating an inviting atmosphere with his critically
acclaimed Christmas & Hits Tour, which has become a holiday
tradition in its own right since its start 30 years ago. He will deliver
heartfelt performances of traditional and original holiday songs such as “White
Christmas,” “Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let it Snow!,” “The Christmas Song
(Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire),” “Joy To The World,” "O Holy
Night," and “’Til The Season Comes ‘Round Again,” the way only he can, with
the help of local choirs and children chosen to perform in each city of the
tour. Rogers will also sing many of the classics from his
overflowing catalog of hits (“The Gambler,” “Lady,” “She Believes In Me,”
“Islands In The Stream,” “Ruby, Don’t Take Your Love To Town,” “Lucille,”
“Through The Years” and many others).
“Thirty
years is a long time to do anything, but a Christmas show seems to get easier
every year, especially when I get a chance to work with friends like Billy
Dean,” says Rogers. “He always brings a great energy and beautiful music
to the event. Have a Merry Christmas, and enjoy the show.”
A beloved, universally known icon of American entertainment, Kenny Rogers,

REVIEWS FOR KENNY ROGERS CHRISTMAS AND HITS:
“Good-natured joking marked the evening, as audience and star interacted and
fed off each other. The evening was pleasant and comfortable, a humorous
and feel-good gateway into the holiday season.” - DAILY HERALD TRIBUNE
“Blending sets of timeless hits and Christmas favourites, the man known as The
Gambler...offered a memorable performance worthy to be wrapped and stashed
under the tree until Christmas morn...Rogers is still as incisive and endearing
as ever.”
-
EDMONTON JOURNAL
“(Rogers) has to be one of the warmest and congenial entertainers to ever hit
the stage. He makes people feel like they’ve known him all their lives.”
