19th Annual Rob Mathes Christmas Concert
It's officially the holidays when its time for the annual ROB MATHES CHRISTMAS CONCERT! Two
concerts only, Friday, December 21, and
Saturday, December 22, 8pm, at the Performing Arts Center at Purchase College.
Joining Rob Mathes on stage will be his amazing all-star band including
favorites Shawn Pelton (Saturday Night
Live) on drums, Joe Bonadio on percussion, Will Lee (David Letterman Show) on bass, Bill Masters on guitar, Rick Knutsen
on keyboards, and fabulous vocalists Vaneese Thomas, James "D-Train"
Williams, and Ian Cron, plus an additional 30+ member full choir of
"Saints and Friends." This is a not-to-be-missed holiday
tradition. This year's concert will feature some new music, holiday
originals and remarkably reworked classics from this magical season.

Last Ship;" musically co-producing and arranging an evening with
The Detroit Symphony and Kid Rock; musically directed the Songwriter's Hall of
Fame and the orchestra for Bruce Springsteen's performance on the Grammy's; and
even recorded a new album of his own to be released in December called "Flesh and Spirit."
