ABOUT THE MUSIC

It’s been a hot minute since the last time I rolled out the Ice Cream Truck, and for those of you who have been writing to ask me for a sequel, thanks bunches and this is for you!  If you’re new to The Truck series, please know that this is the place for shenanigans.  No, wait-- Shenanigans, with a capital “S”.  

Get yourself some holiday lights, crank up the contra, whip up enough egg nog for the whole bassoon studio, put on some festive sweaters, and find yourselves an adventurous harpist!  All of us in Voices In the Wood hope you will enjoy playing this selection as much as we did while recording it.  Happy Holidays!

Ice Cream Truck 3 is a medley of traditional Christmas carols fresh from the Holiday gig stack that remind me of my childhood.  Here you’ll find Deck the Halls, Joy to the World, I Saw Three Ships, Coventry Carol, and Bring a Torch Jeannette Isabella.  I arranged this medley especially for Voices In the Wood’s 2024 album release, Winter Woods, with Isabel “Gypsy” Richardson’s generous sponsorship.  Thanks, Gypsy!  You can find our album on Bandcamp.com as soon as it’s released this fall.
