Candice: “The holiday season has always embodied joy, love, peace, togetherness. We have always been entranced by the magic of the Season. The sentiments of the holidays are what we try to express in our music year round – so this CD is a natural progression.”

Ritchie: “The origin of the word carol means ‘dance’ back in the mid 1500s. Most of the Christmas Carols are from the 1400s, 1500s, 1600s. They are brilliant melodies. I am naturally attracted to these melodies – as a kid of 10, 11, 12, I would go from house to house during the holiday time and sing them just to earn some money. Now, as an adult, I thought I could play them and make more money!”
