*NEW REVIEW* for Come Bright December: "Finally, a Christmas album that is thoroughly inventive yet unabashedly honors the birth of Christ with sincerity in spirit and musical grace.

Come Bright December is the new album of songs for Christmas 2011, featuring Rosemary Phelan's vocals and instrumental colourings, and the inspired piano of Emilyn Stam.  Many of the tracks are live, improvisational piano/vocal duets.
