“Light Shines Through” is an original holiday song performed by Deena & Jon Fried (from The Cucumbers) with the Hoboken Holiday All-Star Band featuring Julio Fernandez (from Spyro Gyra) (lead guitar), Ed Fogarty (guitar), Gary Frazier (bass), Dave Stengel (drums), Tom Vincent (mandolin), Annalee Van Kleeck & Abbe Rivers (background vocals). The song has become part of the fabulous annual Hoboken Holiday Banding Concert for several years. Most importantly, the song is available on iTunes, spotify and cdbaby with all proceeds going to benefit the Community Foodbank of New Jersey.

I can’t think of a better reason to stop, listen, think and then buy a download of this track.  Not only is it a great and warm piece of music, but it’s for one of the most necessary reasons I know of.  So please enjoy “Light Shines Through” and let it become part of your holiday tradition.
