The exclusive tour will hit nine major markets across the U.S., including a stop at the Aronoff Center’s Procter & Gamble Hall on Friday, December 5, 2025, at 7:00 PM.

While Grant and Smith’s holiday concerts have become one of the most heralded events of the season for more than thirty years, the Christmas Together Tour will mark the first time they’ve been joined by Winans on the holiday venture since she originally appeared on their 1998 Christmas tour.

“We all know Christmas is hands down my favorite time of year,” Smith told Billboard this week in an exclusive report. “And getting to tour with Amy always makes it even more special. But this year we’re taking it to the next level! We’re beyond excited to have our dear friend CeCe Winans join us. After so many years of touring together, adding CeCe’s incredible voice and spirit to the mix feels like the ultimate Christmas gift. To say that the three of us are thrilled about this tour is simply an understatement.”

“I’m so excited to be joining Michael and Amy for the Christmas Together tour,” Winans added. “There’s nothing like coming together with friends to celebrate the true meaning of the season through music, worship, and joy. I can’t wait to share these unforgettable nights with audiences across the country.”

“I look forward to every moment of Christmas Together with Michael and CeCe – the rehearsals, the travel, the concerts,” Grant said. “We can’t wait to celebrate Christmas together and with all of you!”

The highly anticipated Christmas Together Tour will feature selections spanning the artists’ expansive Christmas repertoires and combine their vast collection of traditional classics and critically acclaimed holiday albums. Grant’s five studio Christmas albums have produced such holiday favorites as “Breath of Heaven,” “Grown-Up Christmas List,” and “Tennessee Christmas,” among many more. Smith’s numerous chart-topping holiday offerings have also been staples of the season with favorites like “All Is Well,” “Welcome To Our World,” “Christmas Day,” and more. Winans released the critically acclaimed Joyful, Joyful: A Christmas Album last year, featuring her rendition of “Joy to the World,” which rose to No. 6 on Billboard’s Hot Gospel Songs chart.

ABOUT AMY GRANT
Amy Grant’s career spans more than forty years and stretches from her roots in gospel into becoming an iconic pop star, songwriter, television personality, and philanthropist. With three multi-platinum albums, six platinum albums, and four gold albums, her total career album sales have exceeded thirty million and over one billion global streams. Grant’s chart success has been consistent throughout her career with six No. 1 hits, ten Top 40 pop singles, seventeen Top 40 Adult Contemporary tracks, and multiple Contemporary Christian chart-toppers.

In addition to her six Grammy® Awards, Grant has earned twenty-six GMA Dove Awards (including four Artist of the Year Awards) and has been awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame as well as the Music City Walk of Fame and the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. Conventional wisdom has it that Grant put Contemporary Christian Music on the map, becoming the first Contemporary Christian artist to have a platinum record, the first to hit No. 1 on the Pop charts, and the first to perform at the Grammy® Awards. With that, her legacy as one of the most influential artists of the past four decades is assured.  In 2020, the T.J. Martell Foundation – the music industry’s leading nonprofit to fund innovative medical research focused on treatments and cures for cancer – honored Grant with the Tony Martell Outstanding Entertainment Achievement Award at their annual Honors Gala. Most recently, The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts included Grant as one of their five distinguished Honorees to receive the 45th Kennedy Center Honors for lifetime artistic achievements.

In 2023, Grant toured in seventy cities across the country and released her first new music in a decade, starting with the single “Trees We’ll Never See” (March) and “What You Heard” (April).  Grant released Lead Me On Live 1989 in October 2023, which is a full-concert documentation from the 1988-1989 Lead Me On Tour.  Grant finished the year with two Christmas tours including dates with Michael W. Smith as well as the annual Christmas at the Ryman residency with Vince Gill which celebrated over one-hundred headline shows at the Ryman, the first co-headliners to mark this incredible milestone.

In 2024, Grant toured the country playing thirty-three shows in the spring, including two headlining shows at the Ryman Auditorium over Mother’s Day weekend, which she will do once again in May 2025.  She released the long-sought-after Songs From The Loft album (originally released in 1993) for the first time on digital formats. This past fall, Grant released an “Expanded Anniversary Edition” of her classic album “House of Love” with never before heard tracks and remixes and recently finished a twenty-plus show headlining tour featuring many songs from House Of Love. Grant closed out the year with the annual “Christmas at the Ryman” residency with Vince Gill featuring songs from their recent “When I Think of Christmas” album. Currently, Grant continues to tour across the country and is also writing songs for her next musical project to release in 2025.

Starring Daniel Payne

March 29-30, 2025
Aronoff Center – Jarson-Kaplan Theater 

Tickets on sale Friday, January 17 at 10:00 AM 

CINCINNATI, OH – Acclaimed actor Daniel Payne stars in Churchill at the Aronoff Center’s intimate Jarson-Kaplan Theater for three performances only from March 29-30, 2025 (see below for performance schedule).  The one-man show is part of the Cincinnati Arts Association’s 2024-25 Season.

Winston Churchill has just been awarded honorary U.S. citizenship by President John F. Kennedy. In recognition of this unprecedented occasion, The American-Oxford Society has asked the former Prime Minister to address them and discuss what this honor means to him.

In this often funny, sometimes touching, and always engaging one-man-show created by British actor David Payne (author of An Evening with C.S. Lewis and Christmas with C.S. Lewis), Churchill will be brought to life on stage by David’s talented son, Daniel Payne.

Audiences will be delighted to hear of his exploits during the Boer War, his constant battles with Britain’s fellow politicians, and his special relationship with America and America’s presidents. But most telling of all, Churchill enlightens the audience with intimate and touching details of the two special women in his life—his wife Clementine and Queen Elizabeth.

With elements of The Crown and The Darkest Hour, Daniel Payne gives audiences an opportunity to spend an evening with one of the greatest historical figures in the world—Sir Winston Churchill.

Daniel Payne
British actor Daniel Payne gained a diploma in performing arts at a prestigious English college. His acting skills have been featured in such plays as The Bacchae, Under Milk Wood, An Inspector Calls, Aladdin, and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. His creative energy has seen him add other talents to his repertoire – writer, composer, musician, and director. He is also active as a voice actor and public speaker.
