The Oak Ridge Boys are gearing up for the 24th year of their annual Christmas tour this year as they celebrate 40 years in the business. The group will cross the country on dozens of dates on the Christmas Time’s A Comin’ Tour as they spread some Yuletide cheer and celebrate their four decades of recording, and they’ll perform plenty of the tracks from their 2012 holiday CD of the same name, Christmas Time’s A Comin, at every stop.
“Christmas is my favorite time of the year,” said Oak Ridge Boy Duane Allen. “The Oak Ridge Boys get to take our Christmas tour all over the USA, sharing joy, happiness, gifts, families getting together, and, of course, the story of the birth of Jesus Christ. Our Christmas shows are the highlight of our year. Our 40th Anniversary tour dates are turning into celebrations everywhere we go. We have chosen a busy schedule so we can say ‘thank you’ to the many promoters, radio stations, fairs, festivals, and our wonderful fans who have all supported us for so many years. We hope everyone will come on out and celebrate with us.”
