AM delivers holiday music with his new EP Holiday Happiness & Cheer. Included is a beautifully haunting rendition of Vince Guaraldis Christmas Time Is Here (from the classic animated television Peanuts Special A Charlie Brown Christmas) complete with moody bossa influenced guitar, creepy synth work and McCartney style bass lines. Also included is an original song I’m Home For The Holidays, a spacious orchestral folk song that focuses on the somber elements of holiday time.
