Dave Koz & Friends Christmas Tour
featuring Jonathan Butler with special guests Haley Reinhart, Dylan Chambers, & Erin Stevenson
 
Dave Koz is a celebrated American saxophonist, composer, and radio host, widely recognized for his contributions to smooth jazz. Born in 1963 in Encino, California, he began playing the saxophone in his youth and quickly rose to prominence in the late 1980s, touring with artists like Bobby Caldwell and Richard Marx. His solo career took off with his 1990 debut album and has since led to numerous chart-topping albums, Grammy nominations, and collaborations with icons such as Celine Dion, Stevie Nicks, and Barry Manilow. Koz’s engaging stage presence and musical versatility have made him a staple in contemporary jazz, while his popular syndicated radio show and annual Dave Koz & Friends At Sea cruises have expanded his influence beyond music. With a legacy built on innovation, collaboration, and a passion for performance, Dave Koz remains one of jazz’s most enduring and influential figures.

As he celebrates his 29th annual Christmas Tour, Dave Koz will be joined by South African singer-songwriter and guitarist Jonathan Butler, and very special guests Haley Reinhart (Vocals), Dylan Chambers (Guitar/Vocals), and Erin Stevenson (Vocals).

“One morning I woke up bored and tired of living a purposeless life. I walked into my boss’s office while working for NASA and told him to fire me. I laid my CD on his desk and told him to listen to it, and if he felt like I sucked I’d return to work the next day with a smile on my face…that evening I received my notice…the next day I was asked to tour with Janet Jackson.” But that’s not where her story begins.

At the tender age of 10 she was a member of “Girls Tyme”, a prepubescent group of girls who later became Destiny’s Child. Her first single reached to number 5 on the Billboard Dance Charts in 2006 and she’s had several songs featured in major films.

Kelly, Charlie Wilson, Kem, Faith Evans, and Eric Benet…to humbly name a few.

Some have even dubbed her the hardest working undiscovered star, but undiscovered she’ll be no more.
