Synopsis

Sanders Family Christmas is the sequel to Connie Ray and Alan Bailey's wildly successful bluegrass gospel musical Smoke on the Mountain.

It's December 24, 1941, and America is going to war.

So is Dennis Sanders, of the Sanders Family Singers.

Join Pastor Mervin Oglethorpe and the rest of the Sanders family as they send Dennis off with hilarious and touching stories and twenty-five Southern Gospel Christmas favorites.

Press Reviews

"Even if you’ve never met the Sanders, you’ve heard their music. And most of their jokes. There’s comfort in that familiarity, something especially welcome at holiday time. There’s a sad resonance, too… Most of the evening, though, is given over to laughter and song"

— City Beat (Cincinnati)
