AM delivers holiday music for the first time with his new EP “Holiday Happiness & Cheer”. Included is a beautifully haunting rendition of Vince Guaraldi’s “Christmas Time Is Here” (from the classic animated television Peanuts Special “A Charlie Brown Christmas”) complete with moody bossa influenced guitar, creepy synth work and McCartney style bass lines. Also included is an original song “I’m Home For The Holidays” – a spacious orchestral folk song that focuses on the somber elements of holiday time.
Holiday Happiness & Cheer is available November 17, 2009 at www.itunes.com/am
I like to check out playlists to discover new music. Special thank you to Duke University’s WXDU for playing Future Sons & Daughters. Anyone who plays “A Complete Unknown” right after The Shins, Radiohead, and Dolly Parton has got my ear.

“When artists today are asked to Twitter their every thought, their every action, to record on video their every breath, their every performance, I believe they’re diluting their creative powers, their creative potency and the durability of their work.
And in the long run I believe they’re also diluting the magical power and the magnetic attraction that they can or will ever have over their audience.”
- Duran Duran bassist John Taylor to the BBC
