Collin Raye Family Christmas Tour Announced

Nashville, TN (Aspirion Records) - One of the most recognized voices in country music -COLLIN RAYE- is pleased to announce the Collin Raye Family Christmas Tour in support of his new single, 'Hurricane Jane,' from his album Twenty Years And Change on Aspirion Records (2005). The tour, kicking-off November 26 through December 23, is unique in that each show will feature a symphony orchestra.

'I think it is very exciting to be back out there with this music again after a few years-especially in cities where I have a lot of friends,' says Collin. 'In addition to having wonderful music performed by top of the line orchestra, it makes it especially special to have my family included. In a time where it seems like we are constantly inundated with bad news, I can't think of a better year to take this music and this message to the road again.'

A portion of the proceeds from the concert Children's Hunger Fund.

Collin, who released Christmas: The Gift in 1996, has always received rave reviews for his versions of 'I'll Be Home For Christmas,' 'O Holy Night,' and 'Silent Night' in addition to his gamut of widely recognized hits, including 'Love, Me,' 'Little Rock,' and 'One Boy, One Girl,' to name a few.

Additional dates may be added. For a complete tour schedule please visit www.collinraye.com.
