Bio / Background
"If you buy only one Christmas album this season, buy Yuletide Guitar."
-- Victory Review
"Golden tone, a sure touch, and a swinging sense of time are the hallmarks of Hanson's exquisite fingerpicking."
-- Guitar Player Magazine
"Light the fire and put on this album. Go ahead and let the cat curl up on your lap; you won't be going anywhere for awhile."
-- Dirty Linen
Grammy-award winning guitarist Mark Hanson is well-known for his Christmas arrangements, with his version of "The Christmas Song" published in Fingerstyle Guitar. From his playful renditions of "Boogie Woogie Jingle Bells" and "Winter Wonderland," to the pastoral, open-tuned "Silent Night," Mark skillfully blends a wide range of musical styles into a cohesive whole. There is a jazzy "Greensleeves," a plaintive "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel," and beautiful arrangements of classics like "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" and "White Christmas.
