A variety of musical styles bring great life to favorite, traditional Christmas songs in this new collection by guitarist Stephen Petrunak.

Thoughts of Christmases past resonate in Jesus is Born, performed in the Renaissance style featuring guitar and recorder. Celebrate the holiday with enthusiasm with a Caribbean-reggae version of Joy to the World or Hark! The Herald Angels Sing performed in the style of the Louisiana blues. Infant Holy also features the peaceful Christmas Lullaby, an original composition by Stephen. From celebratory to reflective, from meditative to uplifting, the music of Infant Holy will put you in the Christmas spirit and will surely become one of your best-loved holiday recordings.  .
