Led by vocal director Lori Casteel and Producer/Arranger Kevin Madill, the GrandVista Kids shine a joyful light on some of your favorite Christmas classics with the "Joy of Christmas." Originally assembled to provide background vocals for children's songs, GrandVista began to look for opportunities to showcase this group of talented kids on other projects. "Sometimes a project will cry out for a certain production element, unique instrumentation or even a specific musician," says GrandVista President Paul Carrol Binkley. "More often than not, when we follow the muse organically, the music comes to life in ways that allow for even greater creative possibilities. Such was the case with the GrandVista Kids." Having already made many guest appearances, it is only natural that these kids get their own moment in the spotlight. Accompanying the collection of Christmas classics are original tunes that fit the holiday season, and are sure to become favorites for years to come. May the Joy of Christmas and the wonder of childhood stay for-ever in our hearts.
