The always amazing dudes at Arbor Ridge Studios have put together an absolutely gorgeous Christmas album to benefit the Gathering Church in Chapel Hill.
SetlistO Little Town of Bethlehem |
Christmas Nights is a collection of traditional Christmas hymns “chosen and arranged to evoke the feeling of nighttime in the Advent season, and the anticipation of Christ”s arrival on Earth.”
Among the artists who contributed to the album are Jeff Crawford (The Tomahawks, Mandolin Orange), Brett Harris, Nick Jaeger (The Tomahawks), James Wallace (The Light Pines, Mandolin Orange) and Mark Simonsen (The Old Ceremony). The tracks feature vocal contributions from Andrew and Emily Frantz from Mandolin Orange, Josh Moore and Skylar Gudasz.
“When [Associate Pastor Chris Breslin] approached me with the idea of recording a Christmas EP, I was a little timid to jump into a genre which has been well trod by many an artist,” Crawford explained. “I knew that we had to assemble a certain team of musicians familiar to … the Church to accomplish the task.”
Christmas Nights was recorded over a three-week period at Arbor Ridge Studios with Crawford, Harris, Jaeger, Wallace and Simonsen as the core band.
“Rearranging these standards proved to be a challenge and an opportunity for us to convene as a group and record together, which we don’t usually have,” Crawford said.
The traditional Christmas songs include “O Come O Come Emmanuel,” “O Little Town of Bethlehem,” “Oh Holy Night,” “It Came Upon a Midnight Clear” and “Beautiful Star of Bethlehem,” as well as the instrumental “Because the Night is Long.”
Jeff Crawford serves as the music director for the Gathering Church, which meets every Sunday at Creekside Elementary School.

Wonderful music—very mellow! I’d like to hear you all do some more of the traditional hymns and also some of the newer ones, like from Amy Grant and Mercy Me.

As you probably already know, your wish is about to be granted. An album of traditional hymns is in the works and due out in December (no Amy Grant or Mercy Me this time around but hopefully this project will continue on with future installments).
