This extraordinary production takes you on a journey through the spirit of the Wild West, immersing you in its rich heritage and evoking a sense of wonder and joy.
Inspired by an 1885 wild-west dance known as the original "Texas Cowboys' Christmas Ball" in Anson, Texas, Murphey embarked on a remarkable journey that carries on the biblical tradition of merriment, song, and feasting during the "holidays," a term signifying "holy days." In 1992, Michael introduced a groundbreaking concept album called "Cowboy Christmas," which had never been attempted before in popular Christmas music. This innovative creation became a best-seller and paved the way for five more Cowboy Christmas albums and accompanying DVDs. Today, this remarkable concept has evolved into a grand live musical concert production! Join Michael, the talented members of the Rio Grande Band, for a joyous and heartfelt "Christmas Cowboy-Style" experience.
