LURAY, Va. (November 12, 2024) – Celebrated actor from the hit TV series Dukes of Hazzard, singer-songwriter, and Tony award nominated Broadway musical star Tom Wopat is commending the 10 year anniversary of releasing of his Holiday album with Dukes co-star John Schneider, Home For Christmas [Stream/Listen/Buy], which peaked at #10 in 2014 on the Billboard’s Traditional Jazz Album Chart. Released in October of 2014 and produced by David Finck, it’s an 18-track musical sleigh ride of holiday standards mixed with some covers and originals, shared among the kindred spirits of two music and television entertainment’s most celebrated duos.
“It’s hard to believe that we released Home For Christmas 10 years ago. It was probably the most fun I’ve ever had recording an album,” Wopat says. “When you’re working on something you love with your best friend, it’s hard to go wrong. I’m awfully proud of how the album has weathered this decade…Shoot, we may have to do another one!”
Wopat will kick off his Holiday shows on December 14 & 15 at Cooter’s Place in Luray, Va., signing autographs and hosting meet and greets starting at 11am ET daily. He’ll perform a full concert at 7pm on Saturday; $25 for General Admission with children under 12 and adults 60 and over receiving FREE admission [info/tickets]. Wopat will also return to his home state of Wisconsin for his annual Christmas show on December 21 at Leo & Leona’s in Bangor, where he’ll host a meet and greet at 5pm ET, followed by a concert for $21 at 7:30pm [info/tickets].
Wopat is also offering The Ultimate Tom Wopat Christmas Bundle featuring all three County Line films, the classic Christmas Comes to Willow Creek, and the timeless Home for Christmas CD—each one personally signed by Tom Wopat himself. To purchase, visit tom-wopat.myshopify.com.

About Tom Wopat:
It’s been several decades since the General Lee first left the ground, sky-rocketing Tom Wopat and co-star John Schneider to instant Dukes of Hazzard stardom. In the 40+ years since, Wopat has been blessed with a multifaceted career that has ranged from starring roles on Broadway, various television appearances, singing in such venues as The Ol’ Opera, Carnegie Hall, and the Hollywood Bowl, to a featured role in Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained. More recently Wopat released a new recording project, an album entitled Simple Man, a 13 song collection that is his 13th solo album.
Also recently released are the second and third installments of the County Line movie trilogy, County Line: All In & County Line: No Fear, available now on the INSP Network. Wopat also recently starred on the TV series, Black List, which features James Spader, as he quipped “I enjoy keeping a lot of balls in the air.” Tom was a staple on the Broadway stage for 35 years, garnering a pair of Tony award nominations along the way. Long known for his musical leading man abilities, Wopat also was critically acclaimed for his dramatic work in The Trip to Bountiful and Glenn Gary Glenn Ross. But currently it’s his work in the studio and on the road with some of the most talented musicians in the world that has provided Tom the most satisfaction. Tom says, “At this point, I basically do what I enjoy… I’ve been blessed.”
