(Producer, Engineer, Musician, Composer, Mixer)
What started as a small personal project had evolved into a full-blown production, when some of my closest friends have joined in. I had written some compositions a few years earlier and I decided to finally record them. After writing a few more pieces and pulling a couple of songs from my favorite songwriter friends I proceeded with the production. The project was recorded and mixed at The Cottage and Starr Ridge Studios in Brewster, NY. Joining me on this album are Tony Aiello – saxes, flutes and vocals, Erin Henry – vocals, Don Harris – trumpet and flugelhorn, Pete McGuiness – trombone, Kevin Hupp – drums, Carey Potts – bass, Valerie Romanoff and Arlen Roth – guitars.
My task was to take a selection of traditional Christmas favorites and arrange them for a southern rock-blues band. Co-Produced, engineered and mixed by Paul Lani (David Bowie, Hall and Oates).
