About "Winter Dreams"

"Winter Dreams" was the second album that I released, and with it came a whole new side to my music. The genre of the album is set to Christmas with four original songs on it and eight covers of Christmas classics. I released the CD in November of 2019 just 10 months after I released my first album "The First".


 The songs on the album include: "Winter Dreams", "Jingle Bells", "Hear the Angels Sing", "We Three Kings", "Deck the Halls", "O Christmas Tree", "Winter Has Come", "Bells of Glory", "The Little Drummer Boy", O Come, All Ye Faithful", "Do you Hear What I Hear?", and lastly the Christmas favorite: "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas".

About the album art

Did you know that the front cover of "Winter Dreams" is a picture of Cedar Lane in Waverly, Iowa. The back cover is a picture of a blown over road in the country just north of Waverly, Iowa. Both of the pictures were taken by my mom when she was out delivering mail after a snowstorm. Thanks for the album art Mom!

Where did I record this album?

I often get asked where I recorded "Winter Dreams", and just like on "The First", I recorded all of the songs at Redhead Studio.
