hark! free christmas music for all

By November 18, 2009Blog

I love independent artists. Well, I love some independent artists. When I worked at Jammin Java in Northern Virginia, I met so many creative people who longed to make a living performing music professionally, but for one reason or another weren’t able to do that. Considering I had my own musical aspirations at one time–you’ll be able to read about that in my next book Hear No Evil–whenever possible, I love helping independent musicians get the word out about new projects.

With that said, I’d like to introduce you to singer/songwriter Aaron Hale. I like him partly because he and I share affection for dark thick-rimmed glasses, but I mostly like Aaron because the music he makes is a combo of pure melodies, intricate instrumentation, and honest delivery. And I also appreciate him because… 1) he comes highly recommended… WATCH THIS!

And 2) he’s giving away his new Christmas EP–HARK!–for free! Details about THE FREE MUSIC after my short Q&A with Aaron.

Aaron, why did you decide to make a Christmas EP?

I decided to make this EP to give my friends and family a special Christmas gift. I wanted to make it simple and acoustic so that it would be a little more intimate for the listener. It’s a little “thank you for the support” to my friends all over.

You penned one of the three songs, right?

I wrote the first track (“Good News!”) and the last verse of “The First Noel.”

What do you think makes a good Christmas song?

I think the best Christmas tunes are hymn-like in nature, giving hope for peace on earth and goodwill to men… and, of course, adding sleigh bells really does the job, too.

As an independent artist, what’s your biggest challenge?

Money. For sure.

Do you play live shows? If so, how can people who might want to book you get in touch with you?

I do play shows. I also love leading worship. I’m working on booking a tour for the spring, as well. For booking you can contact Rick Roberts: onecreation@live.com.

Can you tell us about one holiday memory that is special to you?

My extended family spent the holidays at a cabin in Colorado when I was about eight years old. It was awesome. I took skiing lessons, and decided then and there that skiing was NOT for me. I got Goonies II for Nintendo that Christmas morning. I jammed to an MC Hammer cassette I received. I played with my Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles action figures in the cabin basement and my sister got New Kids On The Block concert tickets. It was, like, the greatest Christmas in history!

And now for that one crazy–truly unanswerable–question that I expect you to answer anyway: If you could offer each person in the world the same gift this Christmas, what would that be?

Well, other than peace on earth, the presence of loved ones and a delicious holiday meal by a warm fire… I guess I would offer people Aaron Hale’s new sensational Christmas EP!… Heck, it’s available for download FREE, so I guess I am offering each person in the world the same gift this Christmas.

Also, be sure to check out Aaron’s other music at iTunes.
