About this concert
7:30 PM CST
This December, King Kazoo & The Reindeer Band roll into town with the full holiday spectacle: a live band, big theatrical energy, and a showman who treats the holiday season like the main event it actually is. Christmas in New Vaudeville is a mix of the classic holiday songbook, a heavy dose of original music, and the kind of warmth and showmanship that made vaudeville the beating heart of American entertainment in the first place — reimagined for a room that wants to laugh, sing along, and leave in a better mood than they walked in with.
The man behind King Kazoo is Jay Bragg, a Nashville-based, third-generation entertainer with roughly 5,000 live shows behind him and a family lineage in this business that goes back to his grandparents' vaudeville act in New York City and Massachusetts in the 1930s. Jay performs under the banner "the Wizard of Whimsy" — a spirit he first found doing hospice volunteer work, where dying patients taught him that great performance was never about the performer, only about what the room gets to feel. New Vaudeville is his seasonal theatrical franchise, four shows a year built around reclaiming the different threads of who he actually is — and Christmas, for King Kazoo, isn't a costume. It's home.
Expect a full band, plenty of kazoo, a set built to make a room of strangers feel like family for two hours, and the kind of holiday show that's as much about hospitality as it is about music.

Artist bio
JAY BRAGG'S NEW VAUDEVILLE - "The Wizard of Whimsy"
What if the antidote to our cynically divided age was hiding in a dusty trunk of forgotten entertainment magic? Nashville's Jay Bragg has cracked the code, transforming from country credentials to cultural curator with "Jay Bragg's New Vaudeville" - sophisticated variety entertainment that proves America's greatest entertainment tradition isn't dead, just waiting for the right wizard to bring it back.
The Artistic Evolution
After eight years establishing Nashville credibility - Alan Jackson tours, Chris Stapleton collaborations, 13 studio albums - Bragg discovered his authentic calling wasn't chasing conventional success, but creating what he calls "circus jazz medicine shows." When his father's cancer diagnosis (now successfully treated) crystallized the family mission to "carry the torch and keep bringing joy to people who need it most," Jay's hospice volunteer work revealed entertainment's true power: not just performance, but healing.
Cultural Medicine for Modern Times
As the "Wizard of Whimsy," Jay creates big tent experiences where socialites and misfits discover they're part of the same joyful conspiracy against algorithmic exhaustion. Each performance weaves original Tin Pan Alley-inspired compositions, carefully curated variety performers, and audience participation that creates temporary family among strangers. This is sophisticated rebellion for people who refuse to settle for mediocrity.
"You'll walk away playing your kazoo and wondering why it took so long to revive the magic of the variety show."
