This holiday season, GRAMMY Award-winning country music star Billy Dean once again joins country legend Kenny Rogers on his annual Christmas & Hits Tour. The 22-city tour kicks off this Friday, November 23 in Catoosa, Oklahoma and wraps December 23 in Westbury, New York.
Rogers’ annual holiday tour makes every concert a unique experience for each city by inviting local children’s choirs to accompany the duo on stage for the show. Dean believes this is a heartwarming aspect of the tour and the part that he enjoys most. “A big highlight is getting to rehearse each day with the local kids who join the show,” he says. “To use Kenny’s words, ‘it’s not Christmas until the choir sings.'”
“I look forward to Kenny’s Christmas and Hits Tour because of the personal gift it gives me each year,” says Dean. “It puts a lot of smiles on faces and it brings folks together in the spirit of the season and those are things I love being a part of. The audience gives us something special back every night and those of us on tour become family.”
This holiday season marks Dean’s third year joining Rogers on the road for his annual Christmas tour.
