  • 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.

Okay, I tired something that required a little post production because of technical issues, I sang two of my Christmas songs live. And told a story or two and those were:

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.

The time, she is a-flying, just the second full week of November and these are the topics on With A Voice Like This:

  • My first caroling gig of the year this weekend
  • A new addition to the website (in the upper right corner)
  • A question to you about what type of calendar you like to see (Take the poll below)
  • Contest update (and a huge hint how you could be the next entrant)
  • A very vague hint at next week’s show

I played A Round for the Holidays from my Christmas EP found at CD Baby. Take a listen and see what you think. It’s a nice gift for the Holidays as well.

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.

Comments From the Podcast Gallery
This show we heard from Andrea from the Geek Is Chic podcast and Matt from The Plug Show.
