Certified 3X platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America(r) for selling three million copies in the U.S., Christmas Eve and Other Stories is one of the best-selling Christmas albums of all time. Including the mega-hit âChristmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24,â the album spawned the bring-the-whole-family rock holiday tradition that has now played to more than 17 million fans all across the nation.

TSOâs Music Director & lead guitarist Al Pitrelli said, âAfter an incredibly trying year for everyone we are beyond excited to be able to say that weâre bringing Christmas Eve and Other Stories back to all of you. We were amazed by the turnout for last yearâs livestream and how many of you continued to celebrate this tradition we have created together. Itâs been 25 years since Paul (OâNeill) first introduced all of us to this timeless tale. Letâs celebrate this milestone event together. God bless and stay safe everyone.â
A product of the vision and imagination of TSOâs late founder/composer/lyricist Paul OâNeill, Christmas Eve and Other Stories follows a story set on Christmas Eve when a young angel is sent to Earth to bring back what is best representative of humanity. Following favorite TSO themes of âstrangers helping strangersâ and âthe kindness of others,â âChristmas Eve and Other Storiesâ takes listeners all over the world to help reunite a young girl with her distraught father.
The album and tour feature such fan-favorites as âOrnament,â âPromises To Keep,â âThis Christmas Day,â âOâ Come All Ye Faithful,â âGood King Joy,â and the epic âOld City Bar.â The rock opera also features such TSO classics as âChristmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24.â âAdditionally, the tour will enjoy a second set containing some of TSOâs greatest hits and fan-pleasers including âChristmas Canon,â âWizards In Winterâ and many more.
