Band of Merrymakers will be a must-see show to get you and your family in the holiday spirit! The Band of Merrymakers made their mark on the national stage in 2015 by performing at the Rockefeller Tree Lighting Ceremony, the Today Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live and through their viral music video of a Santa-Flash mob for their single Must Be Christmas.
The super group's debut album Welcome to Our Christmas Party which features a mix of new holiday songs plus some old favorites through Sony Music Masterworks imprint Portrait Records. Of the album Hollander says: "Legend has it that Irving Berlin wrote 'White Christmas' at a La Quinta hotel in the California desert. Kevin and I attempted to channel his inspiration as we wrote and recorded our record in the blazing Hollywood summer heat. The process essentially consisted of us calling up our friends, family & colleagues and inviting them to pack up their acoustic guitars and join us by the campfire as we recorded in the sweltering sun, all with the spirit of the winter and festivity deep in our bones. We hope the joy is self-evident!!"
