Meet Landau Eugene Murphy, Season 6 Winner of “America’s Got Talent”

 Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. is the soul-and-Sinatra singing sensation who first rose to national attention as the season six winner of NBC TV’s “America’s Got Talent.” His debut album “That’s Life” spent several weeks atop the Billboard Jazz charts and in the Top 40 overall.  He has since released four additional well-received albums (two with Grammy-winning producers), penned an Amazon #1 best-selling memoir, appeared on several network TV shows, had a featured role in a film, was nominated for an NAACP Image Award, and named one of the Top Outstanding Young Americans by the United States Jaycees and has toured around the world, performing hundreds of sold-out concerts. His latest album ‘I’m Not Messing Around’, is Landau’s first-ever album of all original material. All songs have been written or co-written by Landau and the album's producer, Rob Hegel, best known for his work with Air Supply, Labelle's Sarah Dash, and his solo career, which included appearances on American Bandstand and scoring the themes for many network television shows including "Don Kirshner's Rock Concert'.

 Landau will join the Southern Christmas Show on Preview Night to perform two musical sets which will be a compilation of Christmas songs, as well as songs from his new album.  He will also have CD’s available for sale, allowing you to not only enjoy his soulful sound throughout the holiday season, but also allowing you to share the gift of music with family and friends.

 

 🎶Do you want to build an ornament? 🎶

In honor of this year’s theme, Santa’s Workshop, the first 250 guests to Preview Night will receive this year’s commemorative ornament, which allows you to channel your inner Elf, to build the ornament!
This keepsake is a fun family activity and a great way to remember your special visit to this year’s show.
