Natasha Miller at Natasha Miller's Holiday Concert at The Additon

San Francisco vocalist Natasha Miller will return to Yoshi's in San Francisco on December 23 in celebration of her 7th CD release,
"What Christmas Means to Me".

It is her second collection of holiday music and features an original song that Natasha wrote, "What Christmas Means to Me" as well as re-imagined holiday classics including, "God Rest ye Merry Gentlemen" and "Winter Wonderland".

As on most recordings and performances, in addition to singing on the tracks, Natasha also plays the violin on a few songs....

Colin Hogan joins on piano, keyboard and accordion, Colin Douglas on drums, Rich Armstrong on horns and vocals, Gawain Matthews on mandolin, Matthew Charles Heulitt on electric and acoustic guitars, and Matt Lucas on percussion. The tracks were recorded by Jeremy Goody at Mega Sonic Studios in Oakland, and by Stephen Hart at 25th Studios also in Oakland.
