Christmas with Chris Ruggiero

Friday, December 13, 2024 @ 7:30pm



Avenel Performing Arts Center
150 Avenel Street, Avenel, NJ 07001

PBS-TV star Chris Ruggiero’s new Christmas show features fan favorites from his critically-acclaimed Christmas album such as “Sleigh Ride,” “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home),” and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” as well as songs from his 4 prior albums, all delivered in Chris’s own classic style. Chris has been touring the country breathing new life into vintage rock and roll tunes, in over 92 towns and cities so far! Working with the same arranger who created all the hits for Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons, Chris has crafted unique takes on familiar standards that have landed in heavy rotation on SiriusXM and local radio stations coast-to-coast. You may have seen him singing on Good Morning America or read about his Christmas album in Rolling Stone, but nothing compares to seeing Chris live on stage. Whether you’re a teenager of the 1960s or just love good music, don’t miss one of the most energetic and fun-filled holiday rock and roll shows you’ll ever see from one of today’s fastest-rising stars.

Performances take place:

December 13, 2024 7:30 pm
