In 2003, producer Will Hearnand Blue Water Highway's Greg Essington and Zack Kibodeaux were still in high school and wanted to write and perform a Christmas show, but something very different from anything else out there. Realizing the current market for Christmas entertainment was stale and overly commercialized, the three friends developed a concept for musical variety entertainment called progressive nostalgia, a show performed through the framework of a live-audience retro-radio-broadcast that combined nostalgic music and song with current cultural and artistic trends and modern production techniques. Something that preserved and honored the trailblazed pathways forged by the Artists and styles that inspired and came before us, moving forward while looking back and blending the comfort of the familiar with the excitement of the new. It all started as a one-night-only fundraiser for the Brazoria County Youth Home, and The Grand Ol' Christmas Show turned out to be a surprise hit and a standing-room-only sell-out performance, or as it was first titled, T'was The Night Before December 22nd.
The 2024/2025 season promises to be the best yet, with performances scheduled in new venues extending from coast to coast.
