“Underneath the Mistletoe” Debuts at #6!

I can’t say enough about my collaborator, Funkee Boy, keyboardist/composer extraordinaire! His talent, experience and connections are such a gift to those of us just starting this journey!  (And, bringing in a magical vocalist like Timmy Maia to turn “Kindness for Christmas” into a [hopefully!] RnB Christmas classic was genius!)”

Well, what a great early Christmas present he’s giving those of us who are part of the works on his new Christmas 2018 album, “Underneath the Mistletoe” – the album debuted at #6 on the smooth jazz charts!

If you haven’t listened to the album, give a listen to some samples! “Underneath the Mistletoe”

All of the 11 tracks are great (“Kindness for Christmas” is track 1 🙂 ) – some fresh RnB takes on a few Christmas classics, plus modern Christmas songs debuting on the album, from some new voices on the lyrics scene!

New Christmas songs for 2018

“That’s What Christmas Means” – featuring Ru Williams, written by Rod Turnquest and Funkee Boy

“Merry Christmas to You” – featuring Funkee Boy and Anthony Rivera, written by Hector Ho and Funkee Boy, and

I love the Christmas classics, and, I love new ideas being expressed musically, so, I love the work on this album! You can find it in all the usual places – Spotify, Amazon, iTunes, and here’s a link to help you find it: “Underneath the Mistletoe.”

I wish everyone out there a blessed holiday season, whether that be Christmas, Hanukah, Kwanzaa, Solstice or all or none of the above! May we all experience a deepening connection to those we love, an openness to those whom we don’t yet know we love, and a genuine appreciation for those who remind us when we forget, there really is only love!
