Summary

Tran-Siberian Orchestra is one of the most recognized touring attractions on the planet. The group has performed for millions of fans, including a performance for over 1 million people at a single concert in Germany. When TSO guitarist and music director Al Pitrelli sat down with writer and composer Paul O'Neill, he had no idea his life would be changed forever by "Christmas music that rocks." 25 years later, Al Pitrelli is thankful for the chance to continue to be part of holiday traditions around the world.
