After having worked off and on on various Christmas songs every December for the last few years, I made a conscious decision last summer to finish off all those songs and put out a full Christmas album. But, I also wanted to raise the production level and put out the best recorded music I have ever done. I worked for months trying all kinds of different production techniques. I researched and read every blog I could as I tackled sonic problem after sonic problem. I tried different plugins, different approaches, and different sounds. In the end, I found an odd merging of old and new production techniques and equipment worked best for me. 

It's Christmas Time is the lead single for the album.  I am very proud of the song and the production level I achieved. I still have much to learn as a producer, but it sure is fun walking this path of discovery. The rest of the album, which will be called "Santa's Rockin' Band," will follow the lead single next Christmas. I hope everyone enjoys the song and I wish you all a very Merry Christmas! 

Okay, so this is pretty cool! I have been promoting my Snow Miser vs. Heat Miser song pretty heavily to European radio. For the week of Oct. 31 to Nov. 06, I entered high into the European Indie chart! Needles, to say, I am liking this! https://www.independentmusicchart.com/

I just recently passed 1,000 followers on Spotify! https://open.spotify.com/user/31iitxd3hjitxw2mkm56qikihmfq

I am very excited to be announcing that my new Christmas album, Santa's Rockin' Band, will be released on October 30, 2020. This project has its origins over 20 years ago when I recorded my first Christmas CD, also called Santa's Rockin' Band. Over time, most of the 10 tracks from that album faded into obscurity, but one track, the Snow Miser vs. the Heat Miser, somehow not only stayed the test of time, but has been continually growing in popularity ever since I first offered it up on itunes 12 years ago. So, on the strength of that track, I have recorded four Christmas originals and six Christmas standards to make up the 2020 Santa's Rockin' Band release. I am super excited about this album and looking forward to blasting it out on all platforms and to international radio on October 30th.
