Holiday rock ensemble THE WIZARDS OF WINTER kicked off their 2019 Holiday Tour last night in Key West, FL. The tour will cross the country before wrapping up at the end of December.

 

Originally started 10 years ago as a means to contribute to a local New Jersey food pantry, THE WIZARDS OF WINTER quickly grew beyond their regional foundation, releasing recorded music and touring the country annually with their classical and progressive-influenced rock music woven throughout a theatrical holiday-themed show.

 

THE WIZARDS OF WINTER recently released their anxiously-awaited new album, The Christmas Dream. Featuring 10 new original songs, The Christmas Dream is a rocking holiday sleigh ride that crosses musical boundaries from prog metal to contemporary, appealing to a broad and diverse audience.

 

This year, fans can expect to be dazzled with music from The Christmas Dream, as well as many of their own original classics that audiences have grown to cherish throughout the years.

Each THE WIZARDS OF WINTER performance showcases soaring vocal harmonies, precision string instrumentation, outstanding guitar leads, powerful percussion and stunning keyboard work – taking the listener on a musical journey, covering many genres from pop to progressive rock. Previous tours have seen the THE WIZARDS OF WINTER performing their brand of theatrical yuletide rock to tens of thousands of attendees and has grabbed the attention of mainstream media such as Entertainment Weekly and Yahoo Music.
