Christmas  -  2016

A modern twist on holiday classics, this fresh take on beloved traditions features great diversity: instrumental, blues, rock, metal and a capella flavors of your favorite Christmas songs!

Christmas.  The most wonderful time of the year – but also the season of over-eager holiday commercials clamoring for you to “buy my stuff now!”  And so, I add my musical drop of water into the ocean-sized cacophony of pop Christmas music.

 

“Christmas” as an album was completely recorded, produced, and mastered in just over a month.  Many fans over the last few years have asked for a Christmas album, and I began the project just in the jolly ol’ St. Nick of time.

 
Music is a reflection of the musician and the musician’s life, and mine is a Reflection of Glory. â€‹


The album features mostly modern twists on Christmas Classics, but the twist of modern comes in a variety of flavors.  Collaborating with a couple of musical friends, Brian (solo guitar on “God Rock Ye, Merry Gentlemen”) and Kiara (female vocals on “Silent Night”) certainly helped spread the musical spectrum.  Genres range from Trans-Siberian-like instrumental metal to a capella, classical to classic rock, and some solo work featuring the electric bass.

 

I hope you are able to find something you enjoy on “Christmas” and during the Christmas season.  These songs are a happy part of my memories from childhood, and not only because they recall family festivities, good meals, and gifts.  The message of the Gospel – now frequently removed from holiday music – is the real foundation for this wonderful season, and a true source of joy for all of us.
