Christmas Once Upon a Time - The Christmas Album
The title track of “Christmas Once Upon a Time” rose to become the #1 Christmas song on the world’s largest Internet music subscriber system when originally introduced. The gentle holiday love song evokes images of a simple time in life and features delicate acoustic guitars over the imaginative gently-rocking bass. The hit single was the inspiration for the band’s recently-released album of the same name.

Available to download on iTunes or for purchase from Amazon.com, “Christmas Once Upon a Time” includes song reflections from band members on past Christmases and joyful celebrations of the holiday season. The hour-long album features both upbeat and nostalgic music combined flawlessly to create a holiday celebration for listeners around the world.
