A night of signature and holiday songs celebrating the love of family and friends and the message of Christmas - joy, peace and love!Along with the Take 6 songs you know and love, the group will perform some of their trademark Christmas songs - from their version of The Grinch to Dance of the Sugarplum (their unique take of Tchaikovsky's Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy) - as well as all-time favorites including The Most Wonderful Time of the Year, It Came Upon A Midnight Clear, White Christmas, We Wish You a Merry Christmas and many more!
Take 6 (Claude McKnight, Mark Kibble, Joel Kibble, Dave Thomas, Alvin Chea and Khristian Dentley) is the quintessential a cappella group and the model for vocal genius. With 10 Grammy Awards, 10 Dove Awards, a Soul Train Award, and membership in the Gospel Music Hall of Fame, they are the most awarded a cappella group in history, heralded by Quincy Jones as the “Baddest vocal cats on the planet!" This musical phenomenon has six virtuosic voices united in crystal clear harmony, against a backdrop of syncopated rhythms, innovative arrangements, and funky grooves that bubble into an intoxicating brew of gospel, jazz, R&B, and pop. With collaborations and praise from such luminaries as Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Brian Wilson, Ella Fitzgerald and Whitney Houston, the multi-platinum selling sextet has toured across the globe, collaborated across genres, and is recognized as the pre-eminent a cappella group in the world.
Take 6 has come a long way from their days at Huntsville, Alabama’s Oakwood College where McKnight formed the group as The Gentleman’s Estate Quartet in 1980. The group signed with Reprise Records in 1987 as Take 6. Their self-titled debut CD won over jazz and pop critics and they’ve never slowed down.
What makes the music and the group last this long? The answers are direct and simple: faith, friendship, respect, and love of music. These qualities are at the heart of the Take 6 phenomenon.
