Harry Connick, Jr. Christmas Album and Tour

11/17/2008
. (PR) Harry Connick, Jr. returned to his roots by performing a 7-song holiday set at the 250-seat Our Lady of Victory Church in The Bronx on November 13. Connick began his professional music career by performing Mass at Our Lady of Victory in both English and Spanish, after leaving his native New Orleans at age 18.

The holiday show consisted of songs from his new Christmas release, What A Night! � A Christmas Album such as "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year," "Holly Jolly Christmas" and the original compositions "Christmas Day" and "Santariffic" (featuring special guest Lucien Barbarin), as well as songs from his two previous holiday offerings such as I Pray on Christmas" from 1993's When My Heart Finds Christmas and "The Happy Elf" from 2003's Harry for the Holidays.
