Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I decided to do a Christmas album for my mother. Originally, it was supposed to be all acoustic, but turned into a twelve song collection with five part vocals, tubular bells, pianos, choirs, and classical guitars. Everyone who worked on this project is extremely proud.

We play a few small concerts a year. Coffe houses, churches, Christmas parties.
