After a successful 20th Anniversary celebration, Christmas in the Northwest is back again with an outstanding compilation of original and traditional holiday music.  This year’s CD featuring The Coats, Ashleigh Flynn, Kenny G, Ian McFeron, Michael Powers, Kevin Thornton of Color Me Badd and many, many more talented artists, hits stores the first week of November. 

Throughout the holiday season, you can turn to Christmas in the Northwest for holiday entertainment.  Each week we’ll feature a new blog entry as well as an informative and entertaining podcast.  You can also check out our MySpace page at www.myspace.com/christmasinthenorthwest.

Also, make sure to check out our website throughout the holiday season for our calendar of events.  We’ll continually post events in which Christmas in the Northwest artists are performing.
