Carolyn Arends set to record her first album in five years

WITH CANADA's singer, songwriter and author Carolyn Arends exceeding her original Kickstarter funding goal by 260 per cent, production is now under way for the singer's 'Christmas: Story Of Stories'. Said Carolyn, "Although this will be my 11th album, I'm at least as excited as I was recording my first, for several reasons. First, I love Christmas. One of the songs is called 'Everything Changes At Christmas' and that's the truth of it--people get warmer, friendlier and more open to the heartbeat of the Gospel that time of year. Second, this will be my first full-length recording in five years. I've enjoyed my 'studio sabbatical,' which has been spent touring, teaching college courses, writing and being a Regent College student. But now that I've completed my master's degree, I have the freedom to return to recording. I'm realising how much I've missed it!"
