Originally
hailing from Niagara –on- the- Lake, Ontario this sister act have been
entertaining audiences throughout the United States and Canada for over
twenty years. Diverse performers, their shows range from Broadway show
tunes to opera and pop classics. Their prior release was a studio collection
of pop and standards from their live show. This time out they lend their
amazing singing and harmonizing to a set of Christmas classics and some
newer and original material titled, Christmas. The sisters are assisted
here by Mark Lalama who helped write some tracks, mixed, produced and handled
vocal arrangements. Your Christmas favorites are included here among them
“Home For Holidays”, “Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow”, “Have Yourself
A Merry Christmas” and more. Instead of straight versions of some songs
they mix them with another holiday song for an updated contemporary sound.
“Silent Night” is paired with “In Heavenly Peace”, “The Coventry Carol”
with “What Child Is This” and “Mary’s Boy Child” with “Joy To The World”.
Check the beautiful closing track “Buon Anno Buona Fortuna”. Bella! For
