Grammy Award-winning Americana and bluegrass duo Mark and Maggie O'Connor have embarked on their most ambitious, coast-to-coast An Appalachian Christmas concert hall tour ever. Mark O’Connor’s An Appalachian Christmas album (2011) reached the #1 ranking on Billboard’s Bluegrass Album charts. Hailed by critics from the Wall Street Journal, New York Times and Los Angeles Times as a top 10 album of the holiday season, it has become a perennial classic Christmas recording.
