Atlanta’s Cobb Energy Centre was transformed into a winter wonderland Friday night as the “Dave Koz Christmas Tour” rolled into town for its annual holiday engagement. Joining Koz on this year’s roster is South African jazz guitarist and vocalist Jonathan Butler, R&B crooner Kenny Lattimore and legendary Motown singer-songwriter Valerie Simpson of “Ashford & Simpson.”

RayCornelius.com got a chance to take photos during the show and exclusive backstage images that you won’t see anywhere else. Fans of all four entertainers were in for a treat as they performed over two hours of classic Christmas music including “I’ll Be Home For Christmas,”” The Christmas Song,” “The Little Drummer Boy,” “Hallelujah,” and “Hark the Herald Angels Sing.” They also performed a few of their own iconic records as well as a medley of Motown hits such as “Ain’t Nothing Like the Real Thing,” “Precious Love,” “You’re All I Need” and “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough.” Check out more photos below and click here to see where the tour goes next!
