The housing market might serve as the reason why Dave Koz has yet to purchase a winter home in Florida, but ol’ Santa Koz—who was one of the first major acts to perform at downtown Clearwater’s brand-new outdoor venue, The Sound last summer—brings his annual Christmas tour back this weekend.

The 60-year-old will have South African guitarist Jonathan Butler, latter-day Prince saxophonist Marcus Anderson, and soulful-as-hell vocalist Rebecca Jade in tow.

Tickets to see Dave Koz play Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater on Saturday, Nov. 25 are still available and start at $42.
