NEW VIDEO! - "Don't Think This Christmas" live from The Warehome
AJ DeGrasse
DON'T THINK's LIVE VIDEO | If you're one for whom the Holidays bring a quiet, stark melancholy from an aching space felt by the absence of loved ones present or past... this tribute is yours. In some cases it gets easier over time, but not for all. I hope this song and story find a way into that place, for you, where little else can.
I'll leave this post short and sweet, so you can get right to the new video below. For the deeper story and images, go here. And after you watch, I invite you to share something of what this stirs in you (use the "comment" link at bottom). Whom in your life does the song or story bring to mind? Your input will be seen and appreciated by myself and the guys here.
This is the personal story behind the song, along with a new live recorded performance from The Warehome in southern California.
Musicians (l to r): Dallas Kruse - keys, perc; AJ - piano, voice; Julian Rodriguez - drums; Corey Cofield - bass.

May your holidays season be rich in ways you might not have imagined. ~AJ
