''The Chop Shop'' to Offer 16th Annual TSO Special Free

The Chop Shop's Trans-Siberian Orchestra Christmas Special

The 16th annual edition of The Chop Shop Guitar Show's Trans-Siberian Orchestra Christmas Special is available to radio stations at no cost. Host Steve Black welcomes all four TSO guitarists -- Chris Caffey, Al Pitrelli, Angus Clark and Joel Hoekstra -- for an all new two-hour TSO radio show. They'll talk about the band's all new stage show and updated presentation of their tale Christmas Eve and other stories. Plus, founding musician and writer Jon Oliva joins the program to talk about future projects and studio recordings.

"If you seek the best musicians, the best storytelling and the very best live stage production you'll find the Trans-Siberian Orchestra," said Steve Black. "It's no wonder TSO have become a seasonal tradition for so many music fans."

The Trans-Siberian Orchestra Christmas Special will feature seasonal favorites from TSO including Christmas Eve (Sarajevo 12/24), Wizards In Winter, Oh Holy Night, Old City Bar, Christmas Jam, Christmas Nights In Blue and more. It's available for broadcast through Christmas Day.
