There are very few Christmas memories not connected to music, and the return to Huntsville of tobyMac's Winter Wonder Slam Tour is just such a tradition.
Whether it's putting up the tree, shopping the malls, seeing Santa or traveling to see family, special music can propel all of us a quantum leap to a special memory.
I know for me personally, even though I'm still stuffed from Thanksgiving, I am looking forward to my wife, daughters and myself heading to Waffle House on Christmas morn - usually with Harry Connick Jr. playing in the car.
That's decidedly more sedate than a new Christmas tradition barreling toward North Alabama.
A Rocket City favorite, tobyMac is bringing Winter Wonder Slam this Christmas for the fifth time. If you have yet to experience it, you haven't seen Christmas at full throttle. The high energy of tobyMac's mix of hip-hop, rock and funk is worth sitting on Santa's knee, hoping you've been good enough to go.
No holiday feels right without the time spent with family and friends so Toby brings some of his to share. Relient K comes back showing that they never take themselves too seriously. Their brand of rock inspires the Guitar Hero in us all with their big hits, "Who I Am Hates Who I've Been" and "Getting into You." However, their live shows are legend for a breakout of covers you couldn't dare dream of. They've covered the gamut from the Backstreet Boys and Shania Twain to TV theme songs from "Full House" and movies like "That Thing You Do" and "Top Gun."
Family Force 5 is back, this time with new music. "Dance or Die" doesn't sound very festive for this time of the year, but their live show will blow the ornaments right off your tree.
tobyMac never comes to town without introducing us to someone new in his goatee family, and you'll get pumped about this year's selection. Newcomer B. Reith brings his shared passion with Toby for hip-hop and rap that will have you adding his debut CD to your stocking-stuffer list.
tobyMac's Winter Wonder Slam tour is happening Saturday, 7 p.m., at the Von Braun Center downtown. Tickets are $16-$35.
