“Singing carols and hymns ‘our way’ is a tradition that started in our living room years ago,” explains Sharon White. “It’s evolved into a show that, over the last nine years, the Lord has led us to share in churches and symphony halls and at the National Tree Lighting Ceremony in Washington D.C.,” adds Ricky.
The program was taped at Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium during one of the entourage’s live performances two years ago. This year, the cast’s concert itinerary includes engagements at Brooks Center for the Performing Arts, The Paramount Theater, Music Center at Strathmore, Tennessee Theatre, Honeywell Center, Niswonger Performing Arts Center of NW Ohio, Smoky Mountain Performing Arts Center and the Schermerhorn Symphony Center.
The extended family has also released two holiday CDs: A SKAGGS FAMILY CHRISTMAS VOLUME ONE (2005) and A SKAGGS FAMILY CHRISTMAS VOLUME TWO (2011). As a bonus to purchasers of A SKAGGS FAMILY CHRISTMAS VOLUME TWO, a free copy of A SKAGGS FAMILY CHRISTMAS LIVE (DVD) is included.
