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.
