Christmas Is The Time To Say I Love You

There’s barely a nip in the air, but once again, we’re getting the holidays started early.

In two years, “A Holiday Benefit” and “A Holiday Benefit, Vol. II” have raised nearly $5000 for 826NYC, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting students ages 6-18 with their creative and expository writing skills.

This year, veterans Chris Abad, Casey Shea, Bryan Dunn and I will be joined by an absolutely amazing lineup of singer/songwriters: Chris Cubeta, Emily Easterly, Andy Mac, Martin Rivas, Ruby Rivers, Bess Rogers, Amber Rubarth, and Paula Valstein.

Next week, we’re getting everyone together at Chris Cubeta’s Galuminum Foil Studios track our cover of Billy Squier’s “Christmas Is A Time To Say I Love You.”

Then, everyone will repair to their respective corners to record an individual contribution. And once again, come December, we’ll get the gang together for a big album release and silent auction.

Last year’s “A Holiday Benefit, Vol. II” featured Derek James, Kelley McRae, Ian Axel, Rosey Golan, Brent Shuttleworth, Deena Goodman and more in an all-star cover of John Lennon’s “Happy X-Mas (War Is Over).”
