Christmas Time is Here! ...And finally, so is my latest musical offering for you! This year, marking the 75th anniversary of the Peanuts comic strip, I've recorded the Charlie Brown Christmas classic by Vince Guaraldi. I recorded this one in my Manhattan apartment with the kind and talented Broadway pit guitarist Max Wagner. Long-time friend and collaborator Nikolas Thompson mixed and mastered the track. 

I'm now getting settled back home in LA after a wonderful three-month adventure living in New York City with my husband Feodor and son Montana while Feo made his New York theater debut in Lincoln Center Theater's Kyoto! Monty and I spent the season exploring the playgrounds, museums, and parks of NYC, and we had the pleasure of visiting many old friends and making some great new ones. I also had the opportunity to do some continued commercial voiceover and recorded singing work from my home booth, and I made a quick trip up to Boston to join the NPR children's storytelling podcast Circle Round live onstage again, this time with the Boston Symphony! The whole adventure was a dream come true for all of us.

Every year since 2005, I've recorded a holiday song to share as a gift to friends and family, and this is my twenty-first carol! Thank you to all the friends and family who have been here with me this whole time, and hooray for the new friends I have made along the way! I am thankful I get to mark the years and walk this road with you. Merry Christmas! "Oh, that we may always see such spirit through the year." 

With gratitude,

-Jessica
