This is the long-awaited Christmas album by Ken and Lisa Theriot. It is the first Raven Boy Music release by both Ken Theriot AND Lisa Theriot together. In the beginning (ca. 1988) their different song selections and writing styles were different enough that separate “solo” albums made sense. Then they just kept doing it that way. But since The Gifts of Midwinter is a collection of holiday songs, it seemed a good time to to put out a “Ken and Lisa Theriot” album.

Speaking of the songs, here is how the album is described on CD Baby: Songs you don’t hear on every Christmas album, a mix of songs from the secular to the sacred, the medieval to the modern. Two original songs, one cover, and everything else is traditional. The goal from the beginning was to create an album that wasn’t just a rehash of all the same Christmas songs you hear everyone doing. We think we succeeded in that.

You can get the physical CD (as well as the digital album and song downloads) at CD Baby here: The Gifts of Midwinter. That’s also where you can download songs or the whole album from iTunes here: Ken and Lisa Theriot. BTW, since you cannot get the liner notes anywhere but here (limitations with the manufacturing process we use), we offer them free as a pdf download here: The Gifts of Midwinter liner notes.

There was much music and friendship at Gulf Wars XX.  We are so fortunate to be able to stay with the wonderful people at the Green Dragon tavern.  Our concert (Ken and Lisa Theriot) was Tuesday night of the war.

The new Christmas album, “The Gifts of Midwinter,” is finally done and available for this Christmas!  In order to make that happen we had to make a digital as well as physical CD version of the album.  To hear samples of all the songs and purchase one, some, or all of the songs for instant download, click here: Christmas Music.

This album is filled with fresh Christmas music that you don’t hear on every holiday collection of songs.  This CD consists of a mix of songs from the traditional to the modern, the sacred and the secular, infused with rich harmonies and rhythms that will have you wanting to shake your hips on songs you don’t normally do that to:).

Here is a list of the songs.  To hear samples of all of them, click here:

Putting the last song in the can today!  The Ken and Lisa Theriot Xmas album,”The Gifts of Midwinter,” is nearly here!  Watch this space.

Hey Everyone.  We’re in the middle of changing from one kind of website to another kind.  Eventually this will supposedly be transparent to you.  But there may be some glitches this weekend while we make the transition.

Ken is doing this instead of working on the Christmas CD:-P.  Oh well, it’s Sunday and I guess he gets to have a day off:).
