About 12 Holiday Greats...

12 Holiday Greats is a few-hundred-Nights-Before-Xmas fever dream, a best-of cut from a long set list developed over many years as a bar band project. Some songs are unabashedly straight-up covers, some have been tweaked, while others have been questionably mixed up.

12 Holiday Greats was recorded March 9-10, 2025 at famed London Bridge Studios in Shoreline, WA, with Meggie Lisha engineering. Perhaps against his better judgement, but without any doubt over his vision, Craig Montgomery mixed it as only he could.

Vocal and instrumental soloist credits are as follows...

Anthony plays organ and/or piano solos on tracks 4, 8, 16, sings on 11, and "whoops" on 3 and 12.

James plays clarinet or organ solos on tracks 4, 8, 12, and sings on 2, 6, and 11.

Rob sings on 3, 7, 11, 13, 14, 16.

Arthur plays pedal steel on 4, 8, 12, guitar on 5, 9, 11, 15, and sings on 5, 9, 15.

Barbara plays flute on 3, 4, 8, 12, and sings on 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 11, 13, 16.

Alex plays guitar on 1, 4, 8, 11, 12, sings on 11, 13, and is the know-it-all on 2.

All (except Rob) performed the stampede on 12.
