Legendary county singer Kenny Rogers brings his Christmas and Hits Through The Years show to the NYCB Theatre at Westbury on Tuesday, Dec. 23 at 8 p.m.
Joining the GrammyAward-winning and Country Music Hall of Fame member performing holiday favorites and classic hits will be fellow Grammy-winner Linda Davis for the final show of a festive 25-date run that began Nov. 12 in Niagara Falls.
Just this month, Rogers, along with his longtime friend Dolly Parton, received their fifth joint nomination as a duo for this year’s CMA Awards. The title track duet from Rogers’ new album, You Can’t Make Old Friends, which is also featured on Parton’s latest release, “Blue Smoke,” earned the collaborators a nomination in the Musical Event of the Year category.
Rogers and Parton also received a GRAMMY Award nomination earlier this year.
Rogers generates a fun, family-friendly atmosphere annually with his Christmas and Hits shows, which has become a holiday tradition. His heartwarming performances of Christmas-time favorites like “White Christmas,” “O Holy Night,” “The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire)” and originals such as “Mary, Did You Know” are accented with the addition of a local choir and children in each tour city.
Rogers also performs his big hits such as “Lady,” “The Gambler,” “Islands In The Stream,” “Lucille,” “Ruby, Don’t Take Your Love To Town, “She Believes In Me,” and “Daytime Friends,” making this show a special treat.
Rogers has sold more than 120 million albums worldwide and has charted a record within each of the last seven decades. He received the Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award at the 47th Annual CMA Awards last fall.
Rogers has recorded 12 No. 1 albums and 24 No. 1 hits and is the RIAA’s 8th best-selling male artist of all time. He has received three GRAMMY Awards, 11 People’s Choice Awards, 18 American Music Awards, eight Academy of Country Music awards and six Country Music Association awards.
