Celebrated singer/songwriter and author Andrew Peterson is set to take his popular Christmas concert on the road with friends and special guests Brandon Heath, Jill Phillips, and Andy Gullahorn for his annual Christmas tour, which features Peterson’s acclaimed Christmas song cycle Behold The Lamb Of God: The True Tall Tale of the Coming of Christ. In addition, the band will consist of Matt Slocum, Ben Shive, Andrew Osenga, Cason Cooley, Todd Bragg, and Gabe Scott. This tour will mark the 10th year that Peterson and friends have taken their Christmas concert on the road. It has become one of the most anticipated tours of the year.

Ten years ago, Peterson composed his musical rendition of the Christmas story to remind people of the holiday’s true significance. Since then, he and a remarkable band have performed the songs each holiday season to sold-out crowds nationwide, as well as a highlighted performance in Peterson’s hometown of Nashville, TN at the famed Ryman Auditorium. Past events have featured such artists as Alison Krauss, Buddy Miller, David Wilcox, Phil Keaggy, Mindy Smith, Pierce Pettis, Matt Slocum and members of Nickel Creek, who have joined Peterson for an in-the-round segment of original material before gathering on stage to perform his musical, Behold the Lamb of God: The True Tall Tale of the Coming of Christ.

Responding to demand from fans of his Christmas concert, in 2004, Peterson recorded the songs on an album titled Behold the Lamb of God. The album received the 2004 Best Album of the Year, World Christian Musicʼs Editors Choice Award.
