Aaron Neville just got married but the honeymoon is going to wait until January — he’s got holiday shows to do. Even before his release last year of “Holiday Party,” Neville’s shows have become traditions for many. Although he and his talented siblings — New Orleans’ first family of funk — tour throughout the year, these shows give Aaron a chance to put his gospel and holiday music in the spotlight.
