The Ball Brothers have teamed up with Roy Webb for a tour featuring 20 new and classic Christmas songs and will perform at Jones Creek Baptist Church, on Industrial Park Drive in Evans.

The two artists have Christmas records coming out this month and are touring to support the new albums.

Fans attending this Christmas event can expect the unexpected, Daniel Ball said.

The concert, dubbed Christmas Music Spectacular, is scheduled to start at 1:30 p.m.

The Ball Brothers, from central Illinois, are based in Chickamauga, Ga., and attend Liberty Baptist Church, where their father is a pastor.

Roy Webb gained recognition while playing the piano with the quartet Ernie Haase and Signature Sound but since has been working on his solo career.

"Each time I step on stage to play, I can't believe I'm actually doing this for a living," said the 37-year-old Ohio native.

Jones Creek Pastor Donnie Crosswhite said he is very excited about the event.

"They will be in our morning church service and then we are going to have a dinner at the church -- a catered, ticketed event, but the concert will be free," Crosswhite said.

"It's a big two-hour Christmas concert," Crosswhite said.

"We kick off the Christmas season for the area, the community and our folks."

This is the third time that the Ball Brothers have performed at Jones Creek.

"We're excited to have them and anyone that wants to come is welcome," Crosswhite said.
