I had the same thought - not one mention on any of the items for pre-order and no mention in any of the social media posts. However, these items are on the site for his charity project, so... In any case, if this is for charity, they're missing an opportunity by not indicating that anywhere.

It's confusing and not a great look imo.

Well, Mark's going to be a little busy in January. He's doing some Tremonti Sings Sinatra shows. Beverly Hills on a Saturday.... Might be tempting for me to go.


JAN 05 ATLANTIC CITY, NJ, UNITED STATES · MUSIC BOX AT THE BORGATA
JAN 06 RED BANK, NJ, UNITED STATES · COUNT BASIE CENTER FOR THE ARTS
JAN 13 BEVERLY HILLS, CA, UNITED STATES · THE CANYON @ THE SABAN THEATRE

Edit: All right, I got my ticket for the Beverly Hills concert. It's in the Mezz area. Pretty pricey in comparison to the AB tickets I bought, but it's for charity, so I can stomach paying that.

Love it. I'n really digging this side of Mark and hope he continues to pursue it. In regards to that I'm surprised Speak Softly Love hasn't been uploaded to Youtube or released beyond that limited edition. I was excited for that

Just finished listening to Marks xmas album through twice...

It definitely is a shorter listen than I'm used to for a Tremonti record. It probably could have used an extra 4 songs which I understand wasnt in the cards but it should have been.

It will definitely be a Christmas album staple for me in the future.

I was pleasantly surprised a few times throughout the record in terms of Mark choosing to sing the higher, more drawn out notes during songs/key moments like in The First Noel, Let It Snow, O Holy Night. Wish he would do it more in Tremonti and AB.

This Christmas was sung in such a way by Mark that initially I thought was surprising and it caught me off guard Maybe its just cuz I'm so used to his rock vocals that it stood out to me being different enough than the rest.

His original song Christmas Morning was decent for his first foray into writing music for a specific style or theme like xmas.

The Choir does add to the feeling of it being a traditional Christmas record but sometimes I do feel they could have been used a little less.

Standouts: O Holy Night, The Christmas Song, This Christmas, HYAMLC, Christmas Morning.

Not even Mark Tremonti is gonna make me listen to christmas music in October.

I'm gonna take this a step further and say that not even Mark Tremonti is gonna make me listen to Christmas music, period.

Well, maybe one song out of respect for my favorite musician and his reasons for branching out with this album in the first place.

I listened to three songs, 2 covers and the original song posted. He's a very good singer but he just relies too much on his vibrato sometimes. But he's truly excellent, sounds a lot like sinatra. The original christmas song of his is decent but I don't think it's a classic that will be played on the radio for years to come or anything. I kinda wanted something a bit more upbeat

Joining him to be there for morale support? Or being a part of the show in some way?

From his Instagram:

"...rumor has it that certain members of @officialalterbridge will be joining us onstage for the big night!"

I think that answers your question.

Never thought I'd be playing the crap out of O Holy Night. Fair play.

I'm not necessarily a fan of some over the top arrangements of the Christmas album (I preferred the more laid back Sinatra approach from the first one).
But man does Mark sing like a beast on it!
I had no idea he could reach some of those notes, and I was actually blown away by his soulfulness on This Christmas.
I wouldn't be surprised if he recorded a Motown-like album for his next charity project.

I hope he pursues these albums for the rest of his career. I really love this stuff. Christmas Morning makes me wonder what an entire album of original songs by Mark in this style would be like.

Yeah so we all heard Tremonti singing Sinatra..... it looks like Frank returned the favor. How about some Sinatra singing Tremonti? LOL

^^ This whole AI thing is a horrible mistake. They might as well get this over with and get a mix of Myles singing a Creed song and cause a civil war here.

Doesn't sound anything like Sinatra. Funny idea though.

Got the answer on this - Scott and Brian will be performing on "This Christmas"
