Ron Raines (CBS)
There's no sign that Ron Raines (Alan Spaulding) is slowing down his schedule any time soon. He's added even more appearance to his concert schedule in the coming months.
You can catch him performing with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra for their "Christmas with the Pops Show" coming up in December. Ron will be appearing with the chorus and select guests as he sings popular holiday songs live to lucky audiences from Thursday, December 3 until Saturday, December 6. For more information on this event, please visit the Orchestra's official website.
If you can't make it to that event, you may be able to catch him in January when he takes to the stage of the McCallum Theatre in Palm Desert, California for "Jerry Herman - Up Close and Personal". That event will take place on Wednesday, January 14, 2009. Jerry Herman, of course, is the famed composer and lyricist of "Hello Dolly," "Mame," and others. Debbie Gravitte and Jason Graae will join Ron for vocals with Don Pippin backing them at the piano. Michael Kerker, head of musical theatre for ASCAP, will be on hand for a chat with Mr. Herman himself about his remarkable career. Be sure to check their official website for tickets and more information.
