Joining Well Swung on James Lord Pierpont's Christmas classic is the inimitable Carolyn Martin. Well Swung is proud and honored to have her as their very special guest on this single. Carolyn Martin has been described as “an astonishing singer”, “a remarkable voice”, a “singing sensation” and as “one of the finest western swing singers in the business, the dreamy-voiced Carolyn Martin.” The Riders In The Sky’s Ranger Doug says, “I have grown increasingly in awe of Carolyn’s talent: her taste, her musical sensibility, the thoughtfulness and care she brings to every line of every song she sings,” and Vince Gill says simply, “Carolyn Martin is a great swing singer.” From her early days playing Texas dance halls and honky-tonks through 11 years she spent as a member of the Grammy nominated Time Jumpers to her current tours with Carolyn Martin’s Swing Band, Carolyn’s live shows have always aimed to deliver what Ft. Worth Magazine called “a jaw dropping performance.” Portland, Oregon based western swing band, Well Swung continues in the hot country swing tradition of Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys. Featuring twin fiddles by National Fiddle Champions, Aarun Carter and Andy Emert, the red hot trumpet of Garner Pruitt, Junior Barnard inspired guitar leads by Dan “Get” Lowinger, and the honky tonk piano of Rich Landar backed by Kevin Major on drums, Chris Olson on bass and rhythm guitar master, Jonathan Trawick, Well Swung smokes traditional Bob Wills numbers, Hank Williams classics, Johnny Gimble and all your favorite western swing and honky tonk numbers. Stunning vocals by lead singer, Jonathan Trawick with harmonies and lead by the bluesy songstress, Aarun Carter reminiscent of Tommy Duncan and Ella Fitzgerald and Patsy Cline make for a show you will not want to miss! See them live every 2nd Monday of the month at the Landmark Saloon in Portland, OR. Add their music to your playlists and libraries now! “Well Swung, is a Portland favorite and a fixture at Portland’s finest honky tonk establishment, Landmark Saloon, where they host “Well Swung Monday” every 2nd Monday. Hats off and right back on to Well Swung for keeping one of the “tap root” sub-genres of Roots Music alive.” - Ernie Hill - Words of Earnest, No Depression - The Roots Music Authority (Oct 06, 2015)
