On Friday, Nov. 15, American smooth jazz saxophonist Kenny G will bring his curly coif and revered holiday tour to Honeywell Center.
Since his 1994 release Miracles: The Holiday Album, Kenny G’s holiday music has been a staple of the season. The record remains one of the best-selling holiday albums of all time.
His Honeywell Center performance will feature a mix of holiday hits and fan-favorites infused with his captivating and distinctive blend of R&B, pop, Latin, and jazz.
In addition to Kenny G at the Honeywell Center, a couple shows were added to Eagles Theatre just down the street, including the Nirvana tribute Smells Like Nirvana, also Nov. 15, and bluegrass music veterans Jamie Dailey and Darrin Vincent on Thursday, Dec. 19.
