Christmas Time is Here, the new holiday 2-CD set by Danny Wright and WH Sound Studio
Christmas is absolutely my favorite time of year, and I'm told that comes through in my music...I sure hope so!
Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) December 11, 2013
Danny Wright, pianist, composer and founder of WH Sound Studio, announced the launch of his fifth Christmas album today, titled Christmas Time is Here, featuring his elegant arrangement of the beloved song of the same name made famous by Charles Schulz’s Peanuts characters Charlie Brown and Snoopy in the Emmy-winning A Charlie Brown Christmas. Wright will debut selections from the new compilation -- a combination of new recordings and his favorite holiday hits – at two intimate concerts at the world class performing arts center, The Smith Center in Las Vegas; both shows are scheduled for Sunday December 15th at 2 pm and 6 pm.
"Christmas is absolutely my favorite time of year, and I'm told that comes through in my music; people are beginning to call me Mr. Christmas," Wright mentioned in a recent interview on Southern California's popular weekend morning radio show "The Morning Breeze" on KSBR.
Christmas Time is Here presents 20 songs, a combination of spiritual, secular and original works chosen by Wright to represent the best of his music as an entertaining and uplifting holiday album appropriate right through New Year’s Eve. It is available everywhere online as a digital download, and as a signed, limited edition copy available directly from WH Sound Studio by calling 702-724-0918; the label is also offering customized holiday box sets this season via direct order at that number. Wright’s previous four Christmas albums present a range of styles, from solo piano, to instrumentals, to instrumentals with vocals or chorus; they include Just Wright for Christmas, Merry Christmas, Christmas by Candlelight, and Remembering Christmas.
The concerts, titled Just Wright for the Holidays, will feature emotive solo piano works by Wright as well as songs performed by special guest star Tracy Kesisian (vocals), Jeff Davis (bass) and Cole Bingham on percussion. Tickets range from $30 - $75, and are available at the venue box office, by phone at 702.749.2000, or online at http://www.thesmithcenter.com/events/danny-wright-for-the-holidays/ The Smith Center’s elegant Cabaret Jazz room, located at 361 Symphony Park Ave, Las Vegas, NV 89106, is the perfect venue to foster the intimacy that Wright brings to his music.
Wright is lauded for his mastery of several types of music, including Classical, Broadway and original music in the Adult Contemporary and New Age genres. His own compositions, including those on the 2013 original releases Reflections and Gifts from the Heart, often honor family, friends and loyal fans or their loved ones. Many of the dedicated compositions can be seen on his YouTube channel.
