AVON PARK, Fla. – Nov. 20, 2024 – William Lee Golden and The Goldens are scheduled to perform A Country Christmas at the Wildstein Center for the Performing Arts at South Florida State College (SFSC) in Avon Park on Tuesday, Dec. 10 at 7 p.m. “Expect some gospel music, holiday songs, and a little southern rock featuring William Lee Golden’s famous baritone vocals,” said Cindy Garren, director of cultural programs at SFSC.
William Lee Golden is a legendary figure in American music. Since joining the Oak Ridge Boys in the 1960s, Golden has become a member of the Grand Ole Opry, been inducted into both the Country and Music Halls of Fame, and won five Grammy Awards, one American Music Award, four Country Music Association Awards, four Academy of Country Music Awards, 10 Dove Awards, and the 2010 President’s Honor.
The Goldens all-star band includes Golden’s sons Chris and Craig and his grandchildren Elizabeth, Rebekah, and Elijah. The family band tours when Golden isn’t performing with the Oak Ridge Boys. Their music brings fresh interpretations to longtime favorite hymns and holiday songs.
William Lee Golden and The Goldens celebrated their first No. 1 single with “Come and Dine” off their “Old Country Church Gospel” album. The hymn is a favorite of the family, because it’s an upbeat classic about feasting at the table with Jesus. “This is an exciting time for us as a family,” Golden said. “I am so proud of The Goldens reaching No. 1.”
“This is their only performance in Florida on their holiday tour,” Garren said. “It’s a rare treat for folks who love old-timey music, great harmonies, and musical excellence.”
