about

Regarding Tom & Kat’s Excellent Christmas Adventure. All the GM acolytes among you know in 2013, I released Christmas 30 Years In The Making, which was a collection of my Christmas songs to that point (minus the “Christmas Wrapper” which mightily “sampled” Run DMC). Since then I have been doing 1 to 3 Christmas songs a year. I don’t know why but I do them. I realized I had enough this year for another album and then decided to add Kat’s songs to the pile – it’s a family affair. TKECA has 4 songs that are brand new this year – the two True Olympians songs, a new solo Tom and a new solo Kat tune. Plus a new mix of “A Saucy Holiday!” Consumer warning: all these songs are available on the last five years Xmas comps. The only thing exclusive to this is the “Saucy” mix. Oh, and the secret thing. But if you want to que up, a nice collection that is all mastered to sound sweet together you are set. Plus a pretty cover by Rosie. When I came up with the album title, Kat said “Bill and Ted” so of course we had to go there. We found the last deserted phone booth on a country road in Olympia and off we went. Now you can enjoy the whole thing while you sit next to the holiday fire.

about

Tom & Kat Dyer Olympia, Washington

Tom & Kat are generational relatives. Kat is known to help her pop out on a tune here and there. Several of those have landed here. No immidiate plans for a follow up. A lot of trouble went into finding the phone booth.
