While the band and crew are busy preparing for the upcoming 2021 Winter Tour, you are invited to join Trans-Siberian Orchestra and VetTix on November 4th for a watch party featuring TSO’s rockumentary, The Birth Of Rock Theater. Help celebrate Veterans and kick off the Season of Giving a little early. Plus, stick around to the end of the show for a never-before-seen live performance from 2008.

Join TSO violinist, Roddy Chong and Team TSO for this special watch party in support of VetTix on Thursday, November 4th at 8pm ET on TSO’s YouTube Channel (one week before Veterans’ Day).

Roddy will be hanging out in the live chat box talking with you and answering questions, and fans will have the opportunity to donate to VetTix in support of veterans. TSO will be donating tickets to help support this wonderful organization, and your monetary donations will help VetTix continue their important work with veterans using events as reintegration tools for civilian life.

Multi-platinum, progressive rock group, Trans-Siberian Orchestra (TSO), recently announced its highly-anticipated Winter Tour will be back for 2021.

Certified 3X platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America for selling three million copies in the US, Christmas Eve And Other Stories is one of the best-selling Christmas albums of all time. Including the mega-hit "Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24," the album spawned the bring-the-whole-family rock holiday tradition that has now played to more than 17 million fans all across the nation.

TSO’s Music Director & lead guitarist Al Pitrelli said, “After an incredibly trying year for everyone we are beyond excited to be able to say that we’re bringing Christmas Eve And Other Stories back to all of you. We were amazed by the turnout for last year's livestream and how many of you continued to celebrate this tradition we have created together. It’s been 25 years since Paul (O’Neill) first introduced all of us to this timeless tale. Let’s celebrate this milestone event together. God bless and stay safe everyone.”

A product of the vision and imagination of TSO’s late founder/composer/lyricist Paul O’Neill, Christmas Eve And Other Stories follows a story set on Christmas Eve when a young angel is sent to Earth to bring back what is best representative of humanity. Following favorite TSO themes of “strangers helping strangers” and “the kindness of others,” “Christmas Eve And Other Stories” takes listeners all over the world to help reunite a young girl with her distraught father.

The album and tour feature such fan-favorites as “Ornament,” "Promises To Keep," "This Christmas Day," "O’ Come All Ye Faithful," "Good King Joy,” and the epic “Old City Bar.” The rock opera also features such TSO classics as "Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24." "Additionally, the tour will enjoy a second set containing some of TSO’s greatest hits and fan-pleasers including "Christmas Canon,” “Wizards In Winter” and many more.
