For some people Christmas music is traditionally infectious, others it’s as appealing as infections. Hall & Oates are most definitely in the first category, as exhibited in their Home for Christmas tour which kicked off in Chicago’s UIC Pavilion. Being in the best selling pop duo in musical history ought to be enough gravitas for Daryl Hall, but just to be sure, there was a small fan positioned at a perfect angle to gently whip at his hair, music video style.Thankfully their pop mastery translated into unoffensive Christmas tunes and some fantastic renditions of old favorites.

Tonight Hall & Oates take their holiday tour to the web with a live streaming event billed “Live from Daryl’s House” that will also feature longtime band guitarist T Bone Wolk. Check out the gig starting at 8PM Eastern time at www.livefromdarylshouse.com.

Here are a few more photos from their concert a few weeks ago in Chicago.
