  • Yes, it’s the start of the Holiday season for those who perform during the holidays and there’s a new site for Chicago area Professional Christmas Carolers. I’m a part of this group and it’s something I’m very proud to be a part of The Caroling Connection. So if you’re looking for entertainment for the holiday season, take a look and see what you think.

Thanks to the Podsafe Music Network, here are the shows that played my music:

If you liked that, I’m planning to do a live streaming concert of 5 of the six songs on the album live tonight on Ustream.tv. Let me know if you want to see this happen tonight.

073 – Christmas in October?

recorded 16 October 2008

While it seems early, especially for me to start talking about Christmas, it’s a necessity from a singer’s point of view. The Holidays are traditionally the biggest time of the performance year and now comes the scheduling rush.  But also, there’s a bit more promotion going on recently and here’s how some of what 4-AM does is being marketed now. With more music and video which has been recently recorded as part of getting the word out.

4-AM in ‘A White Christmas Holiday Revue’ on:

Merry Maskers on:

Plus, a little bit of talk about the 1 year anniversary of With A Voice Like This coming up and talk of  a new release of the Christmas EP With A Voice Like This Christmas. Now is the time to talk if you want to work during the holidays.
