Making your holidays even happier with the release of the "Winter's Tale" CD!

Firstly, I hope everyone is having a great holiday season thus far.

Secondly, I've been having a blast here in Denmark. But, before I can talk about my time here, I have to plug the release of our new CDs for purchase online!

When I first joined back in June, Barrage was in the process of recording the Christmas CD. Though I'm not on all of the tracks (because I was otherwise busy finishing learning the rest of the Barrage repertoire), I was able to record both of the tracks featuring Stig Rossen, as well as some vocals and groups sections on a few other tracks.

So, this moment is especially exciting for me since I'm now officially on a Barrage recording!

Please read the following write-up, penned by Jason, to find out more information about the CD releases.

Thanks everyone! I'll update about our time here in Denmark very soon!
