Hello there!

Life is beautiful! I'm so happy to be home, feeling so much better, and playing my lovely Nord Stage piano! I've been writing songs, preparing for winter touring, and getting some much needed chill time after four months straight of touring. I've baked seven pumpkin pies in the last week! How did Thanksgiving treat you? Did you have too much wine and pumpkin pie like me? Are you loving the holidays or are they stressing you out a little? Or both? :)

The Gift!

I'm giving you a little gift every week between now and Christmas to get you in the mood and to thank you for following my music and the progress of my career! A Christmas song every week recorded just for you! I am only sending this to my friends, and this version will NEVER be for sale. It is an intimate affair with me and my piano, and this week I'm singing "The Christmas Song" for you - though you might know it as "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire." Have a listen and download if you like @ www.ReverbNation.com/AlyseBlack! (Download it now, since I will take it down within a few weeks.) It makes really good Christmas party music and sitting-by-the-fire music! I'll get you some more Christmas party songs over the coming weeks! xooxx

The Insanity!

Next, I'm doing something crazy!! Do you know people who like good music along the lines of Norah Jones or Regina Spektor or Feist or Sara Barielles? I'm guessing you know tons of them. Can you think of some? ... ... ... Okay, here's where I sound crazy: Get one or both of my albums for every one of those people who might like my music, and pay me what you can and what it's worth to you! The ONLY place to get a hard copy my new album, "Hold Onto This," at this point is through me. (You can get digital copies on iTunes of both albums.) So, tell me how many copies of "Hold Onto This" (my new album with producer Ryan Hadlock) and my first solo album "Too Much & Too Lovely" (multiple-award-winning) you want, and I will get them SIGNED and shipped off to you right away so you can stocking stuff to your heart's delight! Email me at this address with how many of each you'd like and your address: Alyse@AlyseBlack.com ! How many would you like?

I know, I know. I'm crazy! But after all the love, money, time, and effort I put into these albums, I'm very proud of them! I really want you and those people in your life who'd like the music to have copies of them. And I don't want any worries about money to keep you from it! So, name your price! What is it worth to you and/or what can you afford? (NOTE: This is a temporary offer! Please take advantage of it now!)

The Live Shows!

I'm coming back to Dallas (Dec 19th & 20th), Wenatchee (Dec 26th), and Tacoma (Dec 27th and 31st) between now and New Years! All of my Washington State shows this winter will benefit Northwest Harvest. Please come out and enjoy a little extra seasonal cheer. I'll still be performing Christmas carols all the way up until the New Year! oxox

I have TONS more news, videos, and music to share with you in the coming weeks, but I don't want to overwhelm you all at once!

Pass me a line to let me know how you've been!

Tons of love,

Alyse
