FROM HOT TO THE HOLIDAYS: SQUIRREL NUT ZIPPERS KEEP THE 30th ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION GOING WITH THEIR FESTIVE CHRISTMAS CARAVAN TOUR

• Platinum-certified breakthrough album Hot , which is certified Platinum, celebrates its 30th anniversary

• Christmas Caravan has sold more than 250,000 copies

• More than 3 million albums sold worldwide

The Squirrel Nut Zippers return with their beloved Christmas Caravan Tour , bringing a festive blend of vintage jazz, New Orleans swing, folk traditions, and holiday spirit to audiences nationwide. Following a successful year celebrating the 30th anniversary of their platinum-certified breakthrough album Hot with a special anniversary tour, the band continues the celebration by bringing their singular musical magic to the holiday season.

Part holiday spectacular, part musical time machine, the Christmas Caravan combines seasonal classics, fan-favorite selections from the band's acclaimed Christmas Caravan album, and highlights from the Squirrel Nut Zippers' celebrated catalog. From heartwarming ballads and spirited sing-alongs to rollicking dance numbers, the show creates an atmosphere that feels equally at home beneath twinkling Christmas lights and inside a lively Prohibition-era speakeasy.

Led by the endlessly inventive Jimbo Mathus, the Squirrel Nut Zippers continue to draw inspiration from early jazz, blues, klezmer, Cajun, and old-time American music, crafting a sound that is both timeless and unmistakably their own. The Christmas Caravan has become a cherished annual tradition, regularly selling out theaters across the country and delighting audiences of all ages.

As the band commemorates three decades of Hot, fans can expect an unforgettable evening that celebrates both the magic of the holidays and the enduring legacy of one of America's most distinctive musical groups.

"There is of course jazz of various stripes (mainly pre-WWII varieties) on this deliciously wide ranging night of entertainment, but there's so much more: sounds, identifiable and not, emanating from mysterious times and places, not the least of which is New Orleans, their home base, a land that, forever and still, has a mind of its own." — Relix
