As a child my father taught me to play Christmas music on my first instrument, the recorder, and my love for Christmas music has endured throughout the years. I hope this tour will be an opportunity for many Smooth Jazz fans to enjoy their favorite Christmas songs in a family setting. You know, I might even bring my recorder!” Peter White’s classic acoustic guitar style can be enjoyed through an ever-growing and best-selling catalog including his latest release on Heads Up “Smile ” (2014).   Says Rick Braun: “Christmas reminds me of the cold weather in PA where I grew up and long car trips with my family with the windows all steamy and rolled up, seeing lights in the windows of houses and then being with my dad and the whole family for turkey and football.” Rick’s latest CD on Artistry Music is “Can You Feel It” (2014).   Mindi Abair again joins forces with Peter and Rick giving concert goers a uniquely uplifting and musically rewarding holiday celebration to remember. Mindi’s latest release, “Wild Heart”, continues her career as one of Smooth Jazz’ current top artists. She will be playing a variety of songs from her new CD as well as some of her favorite holiday standards such as, “White Christmas” and “Silent Night”.   Photo attached:  Peter White, Rick Braun, and Mindi Abair   Thank you!   Mark Carter The Seabreeze WSBZ-FM Smooth Jazz 106.3 Destin * Ft.
