Dust off your best cufflinks and settle in for an evening of holiday swing. DC favorite Bob McDonald channels the warmth, charm, and effortless cool of Ol' Blue Eyes and the great crooners in a celebration of Christmas classics, from the tender ballads to the finger-snapping standards. Nostalgic, glamorous, and full of cheer, it's the perfect way to ring in the season. Jazz phenom Tony Nalker on keys with special guest Catherine Flye.

We are absolutely thrilled to return to the Creative Cauldron stage for our eighth annual Christmas show! This holiday tradition is deeply personal for me, as I continue my journey living and "PHighting" with pulmonary hypertension. Howard and I are honored to return for our eighth year, performing not just to share the joy of the season, but to raise vital support for the Pulmonary Hypertension Association. As I continue the "PHight" for a cure, we are more determined than ever to use our music to advocate for the PH community. We look forward to sharing an evening of song, laughter, and hope as we celebrate 16 years of partnership in support of a cause that truly means so very much to us.
