Ben Hale Brings HI-FI HOLIDAY to the Raue Center

Raue Center For The Arts is excited to announce an unforgettable evening of classic holiday Americana from "Million Dollar Quartet" alum, Ben Hale! Ben Hale's "Hi-Fi Holiday" featuring The Wanderers will celebrate the holidays at 8 p.m. on December 7, 2018.

"Ben is one of the hottest rising artists from Nashville," says Raue Center Executive Director, Richard Kuranda. "His recent concerts in Las Vegas and Brooklyn are fueling an aggressive fan base and we are planning a wonderful family-friendly concert for Christmas!"

Hale will celebrate the holidays by way of the early icons of rock 'n' roll history, such as Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison and Johnny Cash, along with timeless and heartwarming holiday classics. Hale will also share his own original Christmas songs throughout the evening. Backed by a stellar and nuanced band from Texas, Georgia and New York, Hale's unique blend of traditional and modern music will have audiences tapping their toes and singing along. This is THE event to kick the holiday spirit into high gear!

Hale has spent the last 10 years performing to sold out houses across the United States and Canada. He starred as Johnny Cash in the original Las Vegas cast of "Million Dollar Quartet," and performed for over six years in Andrew Lloyd Weber's "The Phantom of the Opera" at the Venetian in Las Vegas. He recently performed in Tennessee Performing Arts Center's production of the Dan Fogelberg musical, "Part of the Plan." Hale recently signed a publishing/sync licensing deal with Extreme Music, the production arm of Sony.
