Curb Records recording artist We Are Messengers heralds the holiday season with a new five-song EP, Rejoice! (A Celtic Christmas).
Transporting listeners to the Emerald Isle, the fresh holiday collection boasts bright instrumentation that mirrors the lush landscape of frontman Darren Mulligan's native Ireland, where the songs were tracked in a centuries-old church not far from the lead singer's home. Flavored with fiddle, mandolin, bodhran, guitar, upright bass, concertina, uilleann pipes, harp and banjo, the seasonal set also boasts background vocals from Mulligan's wife, Heidi, and contributions from some of Ireland's most esteemed musicians.
"This is a special one to us," Mulligan says of the release, which was produced by Dan Muckala. "It celebrates the birth of the King in a way that is authentic to who we are."
