Album Notes

Tis the Season indeed. Wilmington’s finest musicians have come together to record their favorite holiday tunes to raise money for The Megan Foundation. Featuring traditional and original music and representing the broadest spectrum of Port City musicians, “’Tis the Season” is a great gift for the holidays and the perfect accompaniment to a Coastal Carolina Christmas. All of the proceeds will benefit The Megan Foundation.

The project boasts the talents of jazz greats Benny Hill, Marc Siegel, Wahl Project, rousing Dixieland jazz from David Tyson and Friends; Folk rockers, Tom Rhodes and the Rhodes Squallers and The Daniel Parrish Band; Local favorites with their unique Hawaiian sound, Da Howlies; Reowned Flamenco guitarist, William “Paco” Strickland; Singer/Songwriter Hugo Duarte; Bluegrass banjo from Derwin Hinson; Island style steel drums from Pantastic Steel; and World music from The Travelers.

The Megan Foundation was founded in 2007 by Wilmington resident Ed Kaczynski after losing his granddaughter to SIDS. The Megan Foundation is a registered 501 C 3 non profit charity and though initially born from the grief of losing a young child, The foundation is dedicated to creating opportunities for children to develop their unique skills and talents. The foundation awards financial assistance to families in need, so their children can participate in preschool education.
