    Trans-Siberian Orchestra announces 2008 Winter Tour

    Trans-Siberian Orchestra
    TSO Electrifies Christmas

    Trans-Siberian Orchestra was formed in 1996 when Paul O'Neill enlisted the aid of long time friends and collaborators Robert Kinkel and Jon Oliva to form the core of the writing team. Throwing off the shackles of conventional thinking the team ventured into the very cool, but largely untested waters of the rock opera genre. The result has been a series of well received albums, a legion of rabid fans, and an annual Christmas Tour that sells out the largest arenas in the country.

    TSO’s 2008 Winter Tour kicks off on Saturday, November 1 in Council Bluffs, Iowa, extends for 140 shows, and wraps up on Sunday, January 4 in Dayton, Ohio.
