PETER WHITE CHRISTMAS This Thursday!

PHOENIX, AZ - The Sanderson Ford Lincoln Mercury Music Series presents one of the most anticipated holiday concerts of the year, a PETER WHITE CHRISTMAS at the intimate Celebrity Theatre this Friday, November 23rd. Great seats are still available to see this world-renowned acoustic guitarist and his special guests RICK BRAUN & MINDI ABAIR. Show time is set for 8 p.m.

PETER WHITE is coming to town alright, only this time he's bringing two special added treats, RICK BRAUN and MINDI ABAIR, both of which are featured on White's CD, Peter WHITE CHRISTMAS. MINDI ABAIR is a double-edged talent with her fluid saxophone and emotive vocals. RICK BRAUN is a masterful trumpet/flugelhorn player whose warm tones transform the simplest melody into a work of art. They have each separately sold millions of records and their combined fans will surely appreciate this special performance of Christmas songs.

Growing up in a sleepy little English town in the 1960s, PETER WHITE'S first trip to the U.S. was in 1975 while on tour with Al Stewart. That summer White saw his first studio experience at the famed Abbey Road studio in London, working with Stewart on the 'Year of the Cat' album. The musical collaboration lasted 20 years, during which time they wrote and recorded many songs together, including Stewart’s 1978 hit “Time Passages'He also played on Basia's first album (released in 1987), which went on to sell millions worldwide. After 15 years of performing backup, White recorded many solo CDs, with several songs becoming No. 1 hits on Smooth Jazz radio, such as “Midnight in Manhattan” with Grover Washington Jr., and “Just Another Day” with Basia.
