Celebrating the Magic of Holidays—Together

Every holiday season for the last 28 years, I’ve had the gift of doing something that truly fills my heart—our annual Christmas Tour. What started all those years ago as a simple idea—to share the joy and spirit of the holidays through music—has grown into a beloved tradition that I’m honored to be part of each and every year.

This tour is all about connection. It’s about great friends coming together on stage to make music that lifts people up, reminding us of what really matters, and it’s about bringing a little extra light into the season. 

I’m thrilled this year to be joined by four amazing friends–South African singer/guitarist (and my holiday tour brother for years!) Jonathan Butler; the sensational vocalist Haley Reinhart; young singer/acoustic bassist (and American Idol alum) Casey Abrams; and the elegant and graceful keyboardist Kayla Waters. Each one of these close musical friends is an extraordinary talent…and a beautiful soul. Together, we’ll mix classic holiday favorites with a few surprises of our own, all wrapped up in that smooth, joyful sound that’s become a hallmark of our annual Christmas trek through the US.

Every night on this tour feels like coming home. There’s laughter, storytelling, and those spontaneous musical moments that only happen when everyone’s truly in the spirit. Whether it’s your first time with us or your twentieth, my hope is that when you walk out of the theater, you feel like you’ve just spent the evening in a comfy fire-lit living room with friends—friends who love music, love the holidays, and love sharing that energy with you.

For so many fans across the country, this tour has become part of their holiday season. People who came with their parents as kids now come with THEIR kids! It’s become a beautiful, cross-generational family experience. And for me, that’s the greatest gift of all—to know that our music helps create memories for families that last long after the final note fades.

The Dave Koz and Friends Christmas Tour isn’t just a concert—it’s a celebration of joy, love, and togetherness. And every year, I simply can’t wait to share it with you.
