The 12 Days of Local Christmas: Download “Baby’s First Christmas” by Deb Callahan

WXPN’s Twelve Days of Local Christmas continues today with the song “Baby’s First Christmas” by blues/soul and rock and roller Deb Callahan. Callahan has been a mainstay of the blues scene here and throughout the region since the 90′s when she began performing live. She released her debut album in 2002 and is currently working on her fifth album, to be released next year. The 12 Days of Local Christmas compilation is curated by XPN mid-day host Helen Leicht and the songs will be played daily during My Morning Download on the Morning Show with Michaela Majoun and on Helen’s local pick of the day. You can download the entire Twelve Days of Local Christmas compilation here. Deb performs tonight at The Twisted Tale Bourbon Bar & Juke Joint. Below, download the very soulful “Baby’s First Christmas.”
