A Hidden Track Holiday | Join the Chorus

'Tis the season to be jolly!  This holiday season, CKUA's Hidden Track team busted out the stockings, tinsel and trees, festooned CKUA's cozy music library with festive décor, and invited a few musical friends over for a special holiday episode!  Our guests brought with them some heartfelt reflections on the Yuletide season, some beautiful live performances of holiday songs ranging from ancient to brand-new, and some truly gaudy holiday apparel. Joining us in our Cozy Christmas Corner are CKUA favourites Baby Jey, VISSIA and Hawksley Workman!  Baby Jey share a wintery song from their debut album and a contemporary re-imagining of the traditional British carol "Deck the Halls." VISSIA performs her winter-embracing song Snowed In and Hawksley Workman is joined by his longtime piano accompanist Mr. Lonely for an inspired performance of material from his beloved holiday album Almost a Full Moon.  Plus, our guests spin us tales of gifts, treats, holiday albums, and Christmastimes past.  So... don we now our gay apparel! And sing we joyous, all together. Happy holidays, from all of us at CKUA's Hidden Track!    Credits: Host: Grant Stovel | Producer: Scott Zielsdorf | Graphics: Craig Taffs & Shaun Friesen | Music: Doug Hoyer Recording for this holiday session provided by Duke Paetz and Brendan Cross.
