Keeping Frank Sinatra’s music and style alive for the past 20 years has always been important to Ricki Derek and it shows in every performance he does whether it’s with his trio, the Vegas Six, on up to his 16-piece Big Band and 24-piece orchestra. One of his most celebrated shows throughout the year is his “A Merry Little Christmas Show,” which has become a tradition for many. In its 10th year, this holiday musical experience includes affectionate nods to the past with its lush orchestrations backed by Ricki’s Ho, Ho, Ho Orchestra and its feel-good approach to the most wonderful time of the year. Ricki grew up watching the Christmas specials with Frank, Dean and Bing and loved them so much he wanted to recreate that feeling with his live shows. The show has all your favorite holiday tunes and features some very special guests. It’s a wonderful way to get you swinging into the holidays.
