			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal"><em>My desire &amp; prayer for this collection of songs is that they would inspire people to worship the One who came that holy night and to experience Christmas with a renewed sense of wonder and rejoicing, and also provide<span> </span>encouragement to hearts that find themselves weary &amp; burdened during the holiday season.<span> </span></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal"><em>This project started simply &amp; somewhat ironically as a challenge between my dear friend &amp; fellow singer/songwriter </em><a href="http://www.mindyboyd.com/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.indieheaven.com/artists/mindyboyd" target="_blank">Mindy Boyd</a><em> and I, back in October 2007, when we set out to see who could first compose a meaningful, original Christmas song.<span> </span></em>(<em>I submit that I won </em><span style="font-family: Wingdings;"><span> <img src='http://amy.dualravens.com/christmas/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </span></span>.)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><em> </em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><em>This is not an easy task, you see.<span> </span>It seems &amp; feels like it has all been said and done.<span> </span></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><em> </em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><em>Yet from this challenge </em>That Holy Night<em>, the EP’s title cut, was born.<span> </span>And then with Christmas on the brain, I got a whole bunch of other ideas, and penned two more songs, and worked on arrangements of classics.<span> </span>Then I presented the idea to GOD, and asked for His blessing on it in the form of a producer in the Portland area.</em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><em> </em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><em>After emailing many recording studios in the Portland area and about on the brink of giving up, I was divinely connected with </em><a href="http://www.myspace.com/jordanaudio1" target="_blank">Jordan Richter</a><em>, who was enthusiastic about the project, and took me on…for four months of engineering, mixing, and mastering, which, in his utterly capable hands, became the finished product:<span> </span>an 8 song Christmas EP astutely entitled </em>That Holy Night (A Christmas EP).</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal"><em>The project proudly displays the incredible talents of </em>Rob Classen<em> on piano, </em>Jeff Warren<em> on drums, </em><a href="http://jonnywrightmusic.com/index.cfm" target="_blank">Jonny Wright</a><em> on guitars, </em><a href="http://web.mac.com/cbdonohue/iWeb/Site/about.html" target="_blank">Chris Donohue</a><em> on bass, and </em><a href="http://www.emilyoverstreet.com/" target="_blank">Emily Overstreet</a> <em>on background vocals.<span> </span></em><a href="http://www.mindyboyd.com/" target="_blank">Mindy Boyd</a><em> also makes a stunning guest appearance on the last track, </em>Isaiah 9 Medley<em>, as does </em>Lewi Longmire <em>on B3, and </em>Guy Tyler <em>on cello.</em></p>
