Phoenix is in for a treat come April 17th, a Christmas treat that is, when Northern Light Orchestra launches its debut CD "The Spirit of Christmas" with a free live, classic rock-infused performance. majestic, orchestrated rock music featuring soaring vocals, incredible guitar solos worthy of true 'Guitar Hero' status, and pounding rhythms sure to impress and invigorate the baby boomer generation that grew up on what is today classic rock. I am grateful to be part of a project that requires skill determination and hard work to pull off. I am proud to be playing songs that have been well crafted with a true message concerning the Spirit of Christmas. Being part of NLO after years of touring with the Beach Boys is truly a privilege. Making music with a true message of worldwide peace and love is something I have always wanted to do. NLO has stretched me like no other band I have been part of. I look forward to many successful years with this band. Boat Angel is proud to sponsor the filming of Northern Light Orchestra. It is our hope that by using the talents of world renown musicians we can bring a sense of hope to so many who during this time of economic upheaval have lost their hope.

(PRWEB) April 15, 2009 — Classic rock, Christmas orchestra? The two terms don't usually go together. But Northern Light Orchestra is a unique project bringing together some of the biggest rock stars of the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s for an incomparable celebration of the Christmas story.

Following the launch of the CD, Northern Light Orchestra kicks off it's official annual Christmas touring season in October, establishing what many expect to quickly become a new Christmas tradition.
