Christmas concert at church also will offer a little humor

Musicians performing on a nationwide Christmas tour will make their next stop Saturday in Evans.

The Ball Brothers, along with pianist and comedian Roy Webb, will be at Jones Creek Baptist Church, 4289 Southern Pines Drive, to present a Christmas concert at 6 p.m.

"The concert is really more of a variety-type concert," said group member Daniel Ball. "It is mostly all Christmas songs, but there's comedy (and) crowd interaction involved in it."

The members of the Ball Brothers, a gospel group, are Daniel, his older brother Andrew and younger brothers Stephen and Joshua.

The brothers, originally from Illinois, now live in Chickamauga, Ga. The brothers also have three younger sisters.

"We came from a large family," Ball said. "Our parents always did everything they could to make Christmas just the best for us."

Ball said the audience can expect to hear their favorite Christmas songs, along with some new yuletide tunes.

"Pulling out old records and listening to those old songs was a big part of what our Christmas was like growing up," he said. "A lot of that is reflected in the show."

During their second annual tour, the musicians have traveled throughout the country and performed from Missouri to Texas. The musicians also have played for sellout crowds, Ball said.

The free concert offers a little bit of everything for all age groups, Daniel Ball said.

"There's a lot of times that there'll be a grandparent with their grandchild sitting right next to them enjoying the same concert, which is kind of our goal," Ball said.
