The album, entitled Keep Silent, is a collection of traditional Christmas carols dating back to the 5th century, and arranged in Grassman’s gothic/classical style.  To promote her upcoming release, Grassman will be touring many historic Churches and buildings in cities across the state of Texas.

“I wanted to perform at venues that would create a powerful atmosphere in which to showcase these ancient carols,” said Grassman.  “The Churches became a dream come true.  Not only are they architecturally, acoustically and historically impressive, but the congregations are so very excited to host my performances.  I didn’t want these concerts to be the sort that parent’s felt like they needed to hire a babysitter in order to attend, or where people on fixed incomes would have to save up forty dollars to get a ticket.  These concerts will be all inclusive and free of charge.  This is going to be a Christmas tour in every sense of the phrase.”

Familiar tracks on the Keep Silent album include Silent Night, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, Carol of the Bells, Greensleeves, and O Holy Night.  The total track count lists fourteen songs, including two of Grassman’s original composition, Can This Be So and John’s Song.  The oldest of the songs was originally translated from Latin, and is part of The Liturgy of St. James.  Keep Silent was recorded at Sugarhill Recording Studios in Houston, Texas and is produced by Dan Workman on TLM Productions independent record label.
