‘Simply Christmas’ Offers Simply Delicious Musical Recipe for Holiday
Cheer
Christmas is a-coming and the goose is getting fat, and with it Christmas music, drummer boys,
choirs, bells and other assorted accompaniment abound, from string quartets and French horns to
orchestras and brass bands. All except for a sparkling new addition to the holiday music
catalogue, simply called Simply Christmas, featuring simply piano and one voice – Robin
Harper’s.
Teaming up with pianist Marvin Goldstein, talented vocalist Robin is celebrating the intimacy
and simplicity of the holidays by putting a new twist on the Christmas standards we’ll all start
whistling right after Thanksgiving, including “The Christmas Song,” “White Christmas,” “Santa
Baby,” and “Silent Night.” Here’s a little sample: Robin Harper/Simply Christmas.
“This is the time of year when music helps us renew our faith as well as our sense of fun,” Robin
said. “I wanted to combine the two by choosing songs close to our hearts, jazz them up a little
and have a good time with them. And with just us – Marvin’s marvelous piano accompaniment
and me – it’s like we’re in your living room, sharing an intimate holiday gathering with your
family,” she said.
Robin has always loved to perform and has sung in church all her life, envisioning her future one
day as a country singer. Growing up in California’s Orange County, she veered away from
country at one point as a member of the DavElliott5, a jazz vocal ensemble. Then life happened.
A husband and family. Four kids. Robin’s love of music has never waned, however, and now her
life has come full circle, back to music, with this first offering of musical holiday cheer.
Sometimes, they say, less is more… and with Simply Christmas, no truer words were ever
spoken…or sung.
~My Thoughts~
Well I'm usually all about the books, but when I had this cross my email....I had to jump on the chance!
I love Christmas music (even the corny stuff), but the cd was just delightful.
My family and I listened to Robin's voice while we decorated our tree. I couldn't help, but notice my four year old daughter swaying along to the songs as she sung. It was the perfect music for the setting. I plan to take it along with me to the family dinner on Christmas, as I know that everyone will enjoy each song sung with so much love.
Truly a great gift to all of us for the holidays.
Thank you so much Robin for sharing your voice with us :0)
