DESCRIPTION:

“Christmas In Virginia” is a gently glowing ballad that evokes the season’s most cherished moments. It was first recorded by Clint Gregory in the 1990’s. Frank’s acoustic version of the song focuses all its attention on the well-crafted lyrics of the melody. For Frank, the song has a personal connection that underpins his emotive performance. His late grandparents had a log cabin in Virginia where his family spent a lot of time. He still visits the cabin today, now owned by his mother. “We tried to make this track sound warm, like home, and I’m so happy to share it with everyone this Christmas season,” says Frank.

For Frank, the song has a personal connection that underpins his emotive performance. “‘Christmas In Virginia’ brings me back to my late grandparent’s log cabin near Galax, Virginia where my family has spent many long weekends and holidays over the years. My mom now owns the cabin and carries on those traditions. We tried to make this track sound warm and like home, and I’m so happy to share it with everyone this Christmas season.”
