The Oak Ridge Boys

The Oak Ridge Boys return to celebrate the 24th Anniversary of their annual Christmas Tour in 2013 with another festive show that will feature holiday classics and their biggest hits.

Additionally, Richard Sterban, Duane Allen, William Lee Golden, and Joe Bonsall are celebrating the 40th Anniversary of The Oak Ridge Boys. The group came together in 1973, beginning as gospel singers, before becoming a top act in Country music. The Oak Ridge Boys also recently became members of the Grand Ole Opry.

Each year, the group has been known for creating a show atmosphere of holiday cheer with their Christmas tour, which consistently receives rave reviews and has become a holiday tradition in its own right since its start 24 years ago. The masterful blends of new and traditional yuletide tunes are enhanced by the group's renowned four-part harmonies.

"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."

Additionally, the guys will be filling the holiday season with the sounds of their Christmas Time's A-Coming CD, which marks the Oaks' sixth holiday CD.

"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," added Duane.
