Synopsis

Album Description
"Stars and Promises" is the title of the new Christmas album, released this holiday season by Peter Mayer. It features six brand new Peter Mayer songs, including a collaboration with acclaimed hymn writer Herbert Brokering, entitled, "Wings Of Angels." The album also celebrates traditional carols, such as, "Oh Come Oh Come Emmanuel," "Angels We Have Heard On High," "Little Drummer Boy," and others. They are performed with fresh arrangements, incorporating a variety of stylistic influences from classical ("Christmas Overture"), folk ("Sing Joy"), popular ("This Christmas") and jazz ("What Child Is This"). On "Stars and Promises," Mayer has added the sounds of Native American wood flute, piano, percussion from around the world, and a string trio, to the distinctive acoustic guitar and vocal work you have heard on his previous offerings, "Spare Tire Orchestra," "Romeo's Garage," and "Green Eyed Radio."

"I own everyone of Peter Mayer's CD's and this one along with all the others is great. Peter just amazes me more and more with each new album. This Christmas CD is very soothing and would be great to listen to after a long day. His guitar work is wonderful. This Cd is a must have for any fan!!!"
Wow! What a way to spend the Holidays. . .

"I saw Peter Mayer in concert in December. What a rare gift he has and how lucky we are that he and his brother Jim are sharing their faith with the rest of us.



I purchased STARS AND PROMISES at the Tulsa show and have just about worn it out. It's January 24, and I'm still listening to it. Have purchased two copies for friends, too.



I love all the cuts, but STARS AND PROMISES is my favorite. Who woulda thought of a Christmas Bossa Nova? It's fabulous.



I had 'lost' Christmas until this year. Seeing Peter and listening to this CD has brought it back to me.



Enjoy."
