Christmas In My Hometown

The 8 Track Favourites, who have been together for the last seven years, are a group that has had a major buzz around them. Wherever they play, they are playing to packed houses.

The 8 Track Favourites is a supergroup made up of some of the finest musicians in Newfoundland today. The personnel includes Larry Foley and Patrick Moran (The Punters), Chris LeDrew (Brothers In Stereo), Sandy Morris, Wayne Hynes and George Morgan.

The 8 Track Favourites cover the old time country hits in their own style and dress on stage in hats and country attire reminiscent of the style of the older country performers.

Both previous CD's One Track Mind & Live'r Than Ever were Live recordings, but the Christmas CD Christmas In My Hometown is a departure of sorts for the band as it is a Studio recording.

The songs covered on this recording are the Country standards done up in the 8 Tracks style and are sure to have your toes a tapping and your hands a clapping as you sing along to these Christmas standards..
