Ring in the holiday season with a celebration of family, faith, and timeless music as the legendary William Lee Golden of The Oak Ridge Boys, joined by his award-winning family, presents the Down Home Country Christmas Show at the Dogwood Hills Park in Brewton, Alabama. This special concert, on Wednesday, December 11, 2024, at 7:00 p.m., promises a magical evening of holiday cheer with a blend of beloved Christmas favorites, classic country, gospel, and rock ’n’ roll that will resonate with fans of all ages.
Since joining The Oak Ridge Boys in 1965, William Lee Golden has become a living icon in country and gospel music, earning accolades that include five Grammy Awards, 23 Grammy nominations, and inductions into the Country and Gospel Music Halls of Fame. At the helm of his family band, Golden leads three generations of talent in a heartfelt celebration of music that is as rich in tradition as it is in harmony.
Joined by his sons Rusty, Chris and Craig, and grandchildren Elizabeth, Chai, and Elijah, along with bass singer Aaron McCune, William Lee Golden has crafted a musical legacy that blends powerful family harmony with timeless musical storytelling. Their recent 3-album collection—Country Roads: Vintage Country Classics, Southern Accents: Pop & Country Rock, and Old Country Church Gospel—has won accolades including the #1 gospel single “Come And Dine” and the AGM’s Roots Album of the Year. The family’s music and deep-rooted connection continue to inspire audiences nationwide, from their Grand Ole Opry debut to recent national performances on Huckabee and Larry’s Country Diner.
The Goldens’ hometown Brewton concert will also pay tribute to Rusty Golden, a founding member and beloved son, brother, and uncle who passed away unexpectedly in July 2024. Rusty’s musical contributions shaped the family’s sound and are deeply honored in every performance. This heartfelt tribute will be a highlight of the Down Home Country Christmas Show, blending remembrance with the joy of the season.
Adding to the concert’s magic, the Golden family will be accompanied by a band of Nashville all-stars—musicians who have played alongside legends like Elvis Presley, Merle Haggard, Randy Travis, Alabama, Trisha Yearwood, Tanya Tucker, and Marty Stuart. Together, they promise a night of toe-tapping classics, soul-stirring ballads, and a journey through the heart of American music, all wrapped up in the warmth and spirit of Christmas.
“We are thrilled to bring our Christmas tour home to Brewton,” says William Lee Golden. “It’s an honor to share the stage with my talented family and these incredible musicians, and we can’t wait to create unforgettable holiday memories with our friends and fans in south Alabama.”
