Sean Kelly: Christmas Guitar

Read About This Recording

The Canadian Brass recommends fellow Canadian artist Sean Kelly, a native of North Bay, Ontario who had his greatest success with the rock band Crash Kelly. He returns to his roots with a delightful album of Christmas tunes.

Christmas Guitar is original and inventive, with Kelly's masterful guitar playing supported by full arrangements featuring percussion, harp, bells, keyboard and more. Festive sounds and a feast for the ears, it is Sean Kelly's guitar that is front and center, adding color and nuance to the joyous melodies, all well-known, save the "Huron Carol," a traditional Canadian carol and a nod to Mr. Kelly's home.
