Winterbloom: Traditions Rearranged
This year winter won't be so cold...
A NEW TYPE OF HOLIDAY
Singer-songwriters Antje Duvekot, Anne Heaton, Meg Hutchinson and Natalia Zukerman have come together to present a new holiday album (8-song EP) and live show, tailored for this winter season. The four artists of Winterbloom perform new arrangements of traditional holiday songs alongside their own originals and special winter/holiday songs they wrote just for this project. Playing on elements of their different backgrounds - German, American, Jewish, Unitarian, Christian, Catholic, Northeastern, Midwestern, Urban, Rural, Religious, Secular, Academic, etc - they celebrate not just religious, but also seasonal caroling and gathering traditions. Witty, intimate, thoughtful, fun.
HOW TO BUY
"Winterbloom: Traditions Rearranged" is now available at iTunes, Amazon, and other online retailers. Also in select stores during the holiday shopping season.
