Westmoreland Cultural Trust and Tonic Recordings are proud to celebrate the Holiday CD release of Angels in the Snow by local artists Gary Pratt and Dawn Noelle. Never has a project of this professional caliber been done locally. This compilation of classic Christmas songs sprinkled with a few originals is new and fresh. It will revive many emotions and the child within you during this magical season. Come experience the magic of this album with your friends and family.
The event will feature an album reveal concert by Pratt & Noelle, special appearances by musical guests the Stage Right Carolers and pianist Kathleen Kralik Dengler, an art exhibit, and refreshments.
Gary Pratt, a local business owner, and Dawn Noelle have always dreamed of releasing a Christmas CD that shares a message of what’s important in life and the true meaning of Christmas. Pratt explains, “Angels in the Snow is a journey through Christmas with a message of hope. It features songs about taking the time to slow down, enjoy the holiday and make new memories with those we love. It’s about holding on to the memories of those who can’t be with us. It’s about the true meaning of Christmas…the birth of Christ.”
The album is a compilation of classic Christmas songs sprinkled with a few new, original tunes. Traditional songs range from ballads such as a remake of Elvis’ “Blue Christmas” and “Silent Night” to more up-tempo tunes including “Merry Christmas Everyone” and “Rockin’ Around the Christmas.” “Once Upon a Christmas,” written by Dolly Parton, will feature a chorus of children. The title song, “Angels in the Snow”, is an original song about hope and believing in signs from those that have passed- knowing that they are here with us, while “The Magic of Christmas” reminds listeners to enjoy and appreciate the activities of the season with family.
Guests will have the opportunity to meet Gary and Dawn following the performance and view the special art exhibit Angel, Winter and Inspirational Art featuring works from local artists Pamela Cooper, Patrick Mahoney, Suzanne Panchura, Moira Richardson and Michael Riggs. The “Angels in the Snow” CD will be available for purchase during the evening.
Dawn and Gary both attended Greensburg-Salem High School and were raised in the small town of Slickville. They sang together in their high school days and have now reunited through music. They perform together each summer as a featured act at Westmoreland Cultural Trust’s TGIS Outdoor Concert Series and at many venues, festivals and special events throughout the region.
Gary has been the opening act for national acts Dwight Yoakum, Pam Tillis, Lorrie Morgan and Ronnie Milsap at The Palace Theatre. He is also a songwriter and in 2009, released his country CD “Don’t Walk There in My Shadow” available on iTunes, Spotify, CD Baby and Amazon. He has performed at many of the venues in Nashville. In addition to music, Gary owns and operates Le Jardin Florals & Home Décor, a unique full-service floral shop in Greensburg.
Dawn is an experienced entertainer and has performed everything from hard rock to country. She has been a member of local bands Tammany Hall, Night Wing, Main Street, Trilogy, Rareform and Moonshine Steel.
