“A Spacey Fahey Christmas!”

This year Pup is trying something special… taking John Fahey’s 1968 Christmas album “The New Possibility:John Fahey’s Guitar Soli Christmas” and running each track through an extreme sound stretching processor.

This re-imagining of the classic Christmas album turns the acoustic folk renditions of songs into a collection of expansive and angelic ambient swells. Slow-listening inspired, holiday-themed healing session! Not one to miss.
