Thread: All My Christmas music

  1. #1

    All My Christmas music

    Hey all...I don't know about everyone else, but I like to spend the weeks leading up to Christmas listening to a lot of Christmas music. But it's nice to have some new songs or different arrangements each year to add some variety. So I thought I'd take one last opportunity to share all the Christmas music that I've been a part of releasing over the past few years. So here goes:

    My duo From the Morning recently released this version of the old folk song "Christ Child's Lullaby," and it's available for FREE at my bandcamp page:
    https://kevinjarvis.bandcamp.com/

    The same duo also released a version of "O Holy Night" last year, and it is also available at the Bandcamp page, as well as through CDBaby:
    http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/fromthemorning2

    A couple of years ago I did an album of instrumental, acoustic guitar duo Christmas carols with guitarist Sam Sanders. It's called STRINGS OF LIGHT and it's available through CDBaby as well:
    http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/samsandersandkevinjarvis

    And finally, an instrumental holiday song that I wrote and performed a few years ago called "Hunter's Guitar." In retrospect, it's kind of my weak attempt to channel Mike Oldfield. Available at the Bandcamp page as well as CDBaby:
    http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/kevinjarvis2

    Many, many thanks in advance to any who listen, purchase, or comment, and a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!

    I love the first song "Christ Child's Lullaby"
    My mommy used to sing it to me when I was a small kid.

    Merry Christmas to you and Sumer.

    Even the Hannukah side of the aisle appreciates good music, Kev!

    Merry Christmas!

    A couple of new additions this year, "Silent Night" by my trio Mercy's Hand, and "The First Noel" by my duo From the Morning.

    This one starts off traditional but takes a little twist after the first verse...





    This one's very stripped down, as I didn't want anything to overshadow that beautiful voice...




    For anyone who may be interested, pretty much everything in this thread is available either via Amazon, CDBaby, or through my bandcamp page: www.kevinjarvis.bandcamp.com

    Thanks to all for reading or listening, and Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!

    Both sound really good, Kevin. Yes, the voice on The First Noel is beautiful.

    A couple more additions this year...One from my new duo with Farpoint's Jennifer Weich, and one from my old (but still current) duo, From the Morning, with AshLee Holloman:





    Both are also available, along with a bunch of other cool stuff , at my Bandcamp page, in case anyone's interested:
    https://kevinjarvis.bandcamp.com/

    All of the Christmas music is currently at the top of the page, but there's a good bit of other stuff there as well.

    Heartfelt thanks to any and all who check them out, listen, like, share, or download!

    I see this post updated every year, and every year I want to add these tracks to my collection. But something always gets in the way - so little time this time of year, etc.

    Well, that changes this year. Thank you for posting here again, Kevin. I'll be making some purchases later today.

    And have a great holiday.

    Thank you SO MUCH! And I hope you have a great holiday as well!
    I should add that most of the links above are no longer valid, as CDBaby closed their store a couple of years ago. But pretty much everything I've released is available via iTunes, Amazon, or, more importantly, Bandcamp:

    One further addendum: Last year apparently I forgot to update this link, but I compiled all of the single songs released by my duo From the Morning, along with a couple more carols and 2 original Christmas songs, onto a single album called NOEL. It's available at all the normal outlets including the Bandcamp link I posted above. These songs feature the outstanding vocal talents of AshLee Holloman, along with a few guest appearances by Farpoint's drummer Rick Walker, rounded out by my humble efforts on guitar, bass, vocals, and a touch of keys here and there. Thanks again all!

    Hi Kevin, I purchased the download of "Noel" from Bandcamp yesterday, so I hope you get all the money for that (I think that's how bandcamp friday works)

    Sounds great so far!

    Cheers!

    Ken, thank you so much! I appreciate it more than words can say, and I hope you enjoy the music! And let me know what you think of the music. I would be interested to hear the thoughts of such an accomplished musician and writer as yourself.
    And yes, that's pretty much how it works...Paypal still takes their little share, but BandCamp doesn't take theirs, so most of it does indeed go to the artist. Anyway, many thanks and all the best to you and yours this holiday season!
