Program

Grammy Award® winner Kathy Mattea brings her deep acoustic music roots to an original and traditional holiday music program. Led by her warm and soulful vocals and deft arrangements, Mattea’s stellar band assembled for this tour with some of Nashville’s finest musicians. Together, they bring a fresh take on a wide range of seasonal songs, including well-loved traditional tunes, selections from 1993’s Grammy®–winning Good News album and 2003’s acclaimed Joy for Christmas Day, and her breakthrough recording of the iconic “Mary, Did You Know?”.

Hailed by the Washington Post as “one of Nashville’s finest song interpreters,” Mattea has enjoyed much success and acclaim during her 40-year career in country, bluegrass, and folk music, including two Grammy® wins, four Country Music Awards, four #1 country singles, and five gold albums (plus a platinum Greatest Hits collection). Mattea is also increasingly involved with public broadcasting, consulting and contributing on screen in Ken Burns’ 2019 documentary for PBS Country Music, and recently replacing founder Larry Groce as the host of the long-running NPR show Mountain Stage.
