Reason for the Season Christmas Concert

Joe Gattuso's "Reason for the Season" Christmas concert, now in its 14th annual edition, comes to Oasis Church on Lorraine Road in the Lakewood Ranch area. Gattuso hosts and headlines a production with a lineup of singers and musicians, and the program centers on the spiritual meaning of the holiday. Earlier editions ran as "'Tis the Season," with guest vocalists including Melinda Drake and Nyke Van Wyk. Gattuso's team calls it the most requested and best attended of its yearly productions. A separate dinner-and-show version plays Vision Church in Sarasota.
