John Tesh, the performer best known for sharing his soul throughout the years, has captured the Christmas spirit in a big way! Taking the stage at the holidays with twelve band members (including eight horns!), John has created a performance everyone will be talking about for years to come. Wrapped up under the Tesh tree you'll find traditional carols ramped up to get your toes tapping as well as your favorite carols arranged with a nostalgic Big Band feel. John's remarkable version of "We Three Kings" will stay in your head and heart throughout the 12 Days of Christmas. Tunes ranging from "Silent Night" to "It Wouldn't Be Christmas Without You" present the perfect chance to catch the holiday spirit with your perspective adjusted, your expectations in check and your heart in high gear.
