The Grovetown show is slated for Friday and will feature classic carols and holiday favorites. The tour, billed as the Christmas, Bright and Beautiful Tour, began Thursday in Waco, Texas, and is scheduled to end Dec. 23 in Blountville, Tenn.

"The Annie Moses Band is a group of Juilliard School of Music-trained individuals, all from the same family, where each one ... comes together and transcends musical boundaries to find greater harmony," according to a news release by Hoganson Media Relations.

"The Annie Moses Band ... is imaginative and attentive to classic traditions, but yet is accessible to it all."
