Feeling Traditional?

Caroling is so played out. Nobody wants to hear their neighbors going from door to door, boasting their choral “talents” any more. Wouldn’t your neighbors rather hear you belting Christmas Classics a la Karaoke through the walls rather than on their front porch?

Erin Bode
A Cold December Night

One the twelfth day of Christmas...

"Like Norah Jones, Erin Bode is a sweet-voiced singer with a jazz background and a healthy disregard for musical boundaries. Also like Jones, she gravitates towards quiet, gentle, straightforwardly melodic fare," says Rick Anderson of AMG. The daughter of a Lutheran Pastor, Bode sang in a church choir as a teenager before discovering jazz so A Cold December Night offers a columniation of past and present. Original songs by Bode and Maness include "Skating," "Cold December Night" and "The Star's Song," Other tracks are "See Amid The Winter's Snow, "A Cradle in Bethlehem," "The Holly and the Ivy," "Holy Night, Peaceful Night," "The Coventry Carol," "From Heaven Above to Earth I Come," "Bethlehem Down" and "In The Bleak Midwinter."
