This hilarious musical follows the smash-hit 2003 movie that’s now a Holiday classicBuddy’s Teflon-coated cheer can’t disguise the fact that he’s suspiciously tall for an elf. When Santa breaks the news to him that he is, in fact, a human, Buddy sets out from the North Pole to New York City to find his birth father, discover his true identity, and help everyone remember the true meaning of Christmas. This modern-day holiday show is sure to make everyone embrace their inner elf. After all, the best way to spread Christmas Cheer is by singing loud for all to hear.

GIRL NAMED TOM will tour this Holiday season with a special "One More Christmas" show, featuring their special blend of Christmas harmonies on seasonal favorites and songs heard on "The Voice," as well as selections from their top-selling "One More Christmas" album.

Three siblings unlock one harmony to unite the world as Girl Named Tom. The trio—Bekah, Joshua, and Caleb Liechty—notably made history as “the only group to ever win NBC’s The Voice.” Along the way, they’ve impressively generated millions of streams across chart-rattling covers such as “River,” “The Chain,” and “Dust in the Wind.” The proud Midwesterners gained further traction with the independent Another World EP. Returning to the road with a bang, they performed 100-plus shows throughout 2022 alone. Inking a deal with Republic Records, they served up their debut holiday EP, One More Christmas, and embarked on a massive arena tour supporting Pentatonix for “A Christmas Spectacular.” Their inimitable harmony will only continue to resound louder in 2023 and beyond.

Dan Tyminski is arguably the most recognizable voice in bluegrass. His voice famously accompanies George Clooney’s performance of the Stanley Brothers’ classic song “I am a Man of Constant Sorrow” in the film O Brother, Where Art Thou, and his vocal collaboration with Swedish DJ Avicii on the song “Hey, Brother” was a global hit, having been streamed more than 1 billion times to date. PineCone audiences first met Dan when he was playing guitar and mandolin for Alison Krauss and Union Station. The Dan Tyminski Band is Maddie Denton (fiddle), Jason Davis (banjo), Grace Davis (bass) and Gaven Largent (dobro). The evening features an opening set by The Gospel Jubilators.
