Holiday tradition
Established in 1996 by producer-composer-lyricist Paul O'Neill, TSO has become an American rock 'n' roll holiday tradition.
The group's holiday tours have grown rapidly, and now attract 1.5 million people each season. Seeking to further accommodate the demand, TSO will once again split into two bands, which are scheduled to play more than 80 dates this winter.
The group has released three critically lauded albums as well as a DVD/Video, "The Ghosts of Christmas Eve."
Their 1996 debut release, "Christmas Eve & amp; Other Stories," is best known for producing the smash hit "Christmas Eve Sarajevo 12/24" which is still a radio staple during the holiday season.
