CAPA welcomes Grammy-nominated saxophonist extraordinaire Dave Koz and the Dave Koz and Friends Christmas Tour 2024 to Columbus for a festive, high-energy show at the Palace Theatre (34 W. Broad St.) on Saturday, December 14.

Marking the 27th anniversary of the longest-running jazz-based Christmas tour, Dave Koz & Friends bring a fresh sensibility to this rich musical tradition on their 2024 outing, performing timeless Christmas classics, a Chanukah medley and hits from each artist’s respective catalogue. This year’s tour, which will visit 18 cities in less than a month, reunites Koz with long-time musical partner, guitarist/singer Jonathan Butler, and features special guests, saxophonist Vincent Ingala, guitarist Adam Hawley and vocalist Rebecca Jade—all of whom are truly artists on the rise. Don’t miss the show that’s been hailed as “a holiday institution” (The Oakland Press) and “a kick-ass holiday party” (360°Sound).
