'Twas the night before Christmas, but here in this place,
A warm kind of magic lights up every face.
The spirit of giving is flowing so bright,
We're ready to share in the joy of the night.

Away from the chimney, the snow, and the sleet,
We gather together for music so sweet.
The carols we love and the tales we recall,
To banish all worries and stand straight and tall.

So now, as the music is ready to start,
We share our excitement, direct from the heart.
A night out with music that is tender and dear,
ENCORE! The Night Before Christmas! is here!

Featuring performances by Cardinal Choir, 11-12 Orchestra, and Chi-Hi Jazz 1, with special guest host who we can't wait to introduce you to!

Celebrate a major milestone as singer and songwriter Chris Kroeze returns to Pablo Center for the release of his first full length album. A standout vocalist with genuine country soul, Kroeze has built a career on connecting with audiences across generations through his heartfelt storytelling and his unique and alluring vocal style. Performing more than 200 shows each year, both across the United States and overseas in support of the U.S. Armed Forces, he has become one of Wisconsin's most admired musicians.
Kroeze's musical path began early when his father handed him a guitar for his sixth birthday. From that moment on, his once boundless energy found new purpose in music. A sixth-grade talent show sparked his love of performing and that spark carried him from small town beginnings in Barron, Wisconsin to national recognition as a finalist on NBC's The Voice. Guided by Blake Shelton and praised by Adam Levine, who said his potential is limitless, Kroeze has continued to grow his artistry while performing alongside icons like Montgomery Gentry, The Doobie Brothers, Travis Tritt, and many others.
Now, for the first time in his career, Chris Kroeze unveils a full collection of original songs that reflect the heart, grit, and authenticity that have shaped his journey. Be among the first to hear this new music performed live, celebrate a landmark moment with a hometown favorite, and experience the next chapter of an artist whose story continues to resonate with fans across the country.
This is Chris Kroeze like you have never seen him before. Do not miss the debut of his first full album at Pablo Center.

Their songs, our stories.

As touring musicians, we have come together to perform the songs of the legends that we have been lucky enough to spend decades with. We share our stories, offering a personal, behind the scenes glimpse into a world that few people get to experience and that we feel so fortunate to be a part of.

Our set list and our first hand accounts of our relationships with the artists are designed to entertain audiences and reinforce why these artists became legends.
