Nancy Wilson Will Highlight KXMas Christmas Event

LAGUNA BEACH, CA — Nancy Wilson of Heart will headline the radio station’s annual benefit concert, held at Irvine Bowl (Pageant of the Masters) on December 8.

“We’ve been honored to bring the community together through this concert in our beautiful backyard amphitheater for four years now,” said KX 93.5 General Manager Tyler Russell. “We think most Lagunans agree that Irvine Bowl needs more use outside of the Pageant, and we’re truly honored to take on that responsibility each year, all while raising critical funds for our independent radio station.”

Russell adds that it wasn’t an accident that each band this year has a female lead singer.

“We think it’s more important than ever that women are on stage!” he said. Outside the bowl, the Festival of Arts grounds will play host to a family-friendly Winter Wonderland, complete with craft food/drink, “indie” carolers, and Old Saint Nick himself.

There will be a pre-show VIP reception at the newly-remodeled Terra, formerly Tivoli Terrace.

Joining the iconic female rock n’ roll musician is Wilson’s band Roadcase Royale, fronted by former Prince collaborator Liv Warfield and co-founded by Wilson herself. Indie rock bands La Sera and Springtime Carnivore, both staples of the KX 93.5 playlist, will be opening the night.

Former acts at KXMas have included Eric Burdon & The Animals, Kenny Loggins, and The Beach Boys.

VIP tickets also include premium seating and reserved seating.

All concert-goers will have access to an online silent auction. As this is the only fundraising event the station is holding this year, generating support from attendees is more important than ever, said Russell.
