Adding a fresh twist to one of smooth jazz’s most highly anticipated holiday traditions, #1 Billboard charting artist Mindi Abair is celebrating the 2024 season with two of the hottest, multi-talented genre artists (both #1 Billboard artists themselves) on her highly anticipated Mindi Abair’s “I Can’t Wait For Christmas” tour featuring Lindsey Webster, and Marcus Anderson. For the Grammy Nominated saxophonist and singer/songwriter – a multi-genre powerhouse on the smooth jazz and blues charts for over 20 years - the month-long, cross-country tour extends a popular Christmas time on the road tradition that began with her 2003 jaunt with Peter White and led to over 15 years of sold-out holiday shows around the U.S. with White and Rick Braun. In 2007, the three collaborated on the Top 20 album A Peter White Christmas, which included her perennially popular vocal song (“I Can’t Wait For Christmas”) that Abair is naming this current tour after. She released the original version as a single in 2003.
“Growing up,” Abair adds, “I was a huge fan of those TV holiday specials that featured different guests all bringing their unique talents to create a great variety show. In those days, it was Bob Hope and Barbara Mandrell, and now artists like Kacey Musgraves and Michael Bublé continue to make that happen. I feel the lineup for this tour could likewise bring that classic little bit of everything vibe to create a memorable show that gets people into the spirit of fun and connection. I love Lindsey’s (Webster) voice; the way she sings from the heart, and the emotion she brings onstage.
Saxophonist, Marcus Anderson, has become one of smooth jazz’s coolest artists having played with Prince and The New Power Generation, Brian Culbertson, Dave Koz and so many others.”
Webster, the only vocalist to ever score two #1 Billboard singles (“Fool Me Once,” “Where Do You Want to Go”) plus numerous Top Five singles, in a mainly instrumental format, says, “I can’t wait to travel around the country this Christmas season with these incredible musicians that I am also lucky enough to call friends. I’m excited to have the opportunity to spread some holiday cheer in all the different cities!”
Anderson, also a holder of multiple #1 airplay hits and a Grammy Nomination, says, “Christmas is definitely my favorite time of year, bringing together friends and family through song. And what better way to do this than with an incredible cast of musicians playing some of our favorite holiday material. Can’t wait!’
