The Buckinghams in Concert

Dear Friends, During this season as we celebrate with our family and friends, we consider you a very special gift in our music career lives. For those who join us in celebrating Christmas, we send our best wishes for a feeling of joy. Amidst the celebrations and festivities, we remember that many of us find holidays poignant, minus one or more special loved ones who made Christmas ‘complete’ simply by their presence, their faith, and their leadership of generations before us. Our thoughts and prayers are with each of you, and we extend special thanks for the blessings of your attendance at concerts, orders of our music, and continued postings on Facebook to let us know you appreciate our music. Bruce Soboroff, Dave Zane, and Rocky Penn join us in wishing you a very Merry Christmas and may your hearts be always filled with joy.
