Updates – Cathie Ryan and Erik Darling

Sing Out! Posted on by

A quick update –

Due to unforseen family circumstances, Cathie Ryan had to pull out of the “Christmas in America” tour with Teada. The show will go on as scheduled this Saturday at Music at the Mission with Deirdre Connelly replacing Cathie.

I received a wonderful new holiday CD from Erik Darling! Erik has recorded a 12 song CD called “Revenge of the Christmas Tree”. The title cut will hit home to anyone who has ever cut their own Christmas tree! Erik has written several new songs, updated a few others, and put together a wonderful recording for the holiday season.
“Aunt Rhody’s Christmas” is a moving piece that is appropriate for the times we live in. Erik has a new version of “Walk Right In”, the Gus Cannon song that Erik turned into a top 40 hit with the Rooftop Singers. I’ve heard other artists attempt to put “The Night Before Christmas” to music, but none have done it as well as Erik with a really “folkie” setting for Clement Moore’s holiday classic.
This is a wonderful recording that I highly recommend!!
