Recording Artist Jennifer Grassman Tours Historic Texas to Promote New Christmas Album
Community EventsThe 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.

Holy Moses: Kids Summer Praise musical - First Baptist McKinney
Community Events
Join the cast of "Trading Places" at a Hebrew home and an Egyptian
palace where Page Turner, Hildi Vine, Frank Incense and Ty Kwando
assist kids in discovering the story of Moses.
But there's no redesigning history in this musical as kids learn about the plagues, the Passover, the Exodus and the Ten Commandments through clever lyrics and memorable music.
As in his own life, the emphasis of this musical is not on Moses, but the God of Moses -- the Great I AM!
