Harry Connick Jr. brings the songs and spirit of the Christmas season to Milwaukee on Dec. 12 for an 8 p.m. Christmas show at the Riverside Theater.
The Grammy-winning jazz singer / pianist launches his holiday trek Nov. 18 in Louisville, and plays around the eastern half of the United States through mid-December.
By the time Connick comes to town, he'll have a third Christmas album out called,"What a Night! A Christmas Album." Scheduled for release on Nov. 4, it will feature familiar seasonal classics plus new tracks written by Connick.
Connick plays two nights in Chicago before his Milwaukee show. Tickets for this Christmas show go on sale Friday, Oct. 17 at noon.
