the best way to spread Christmas cheer, is singing loud for all to hear.

Since Christmas happens to be THIS week, and I’m feeling the Christmas spirit, I feel prompted to share a holiday gem with you all.

This particular holiday gem happens to be a cover of Amy Grant’s Tender Tennessee Christmas by Drew Grow & The Pastor’s Wives. The band hails from my hometown of Portland, Oregon – and they have a knack for wintery and sultry goodness. Drew and his merry band of Pastor’s Wives have are releasing a series of singles on a new local indie label, Amigo/Amiga.

If you happen to live in the Portland metro area, catch the Amigo/Amiga Holiday Party at the Doug Fir this Tuesday, December 22nd. Kelli Schaefer (!) and The Beauty will also be playing. The show is only $5 a ticket, and $1 from each ticket will go to the Oregon Food Bank. You now have no reason not to go.

So, happy holidays to you all! If a cheeky cover of a christmas song by an evangelical superstar of the 1980’s doesn’t make you feel the Christmas spirit, I don’t know what will.
