about

In 2020 Victoria; bushfires soared, a global pandemic raged, and the world’s strictest physical isolation measures forced Melbournians inside. For Melbourne based singer-songwriter Laura Ingram, her Christmas wish is simple; to see state borders re-open so she may return to her hometown of Canberra to spend Christmas with her family.

To celebrate the season, this December 4th Ingram releases her 2-track double A-side of Home for Christmas & Christmas Eve.

In the tradition of the great holiday records by artists such as Donny Hathaway, Mel Torme and Nat King Cole; “Home For Christmas” is romantic and nostalgic. Although the summer-tinged piece depicts the quintessential Australian Christmas celebration, Ingram’s lyrics capture the story of thousands stranded globally, unable to see loved ones throughout the COVID-19 catastrophe. The soulful B-side, “Christmas Eve”, pleads for a return to childhood optimism, reminding us to embrace the joy and magic of the season.

‘Home For Christmas’ is the follow up to Laura’s much-loved debut single ‘Valentine’s Day'. Released in February, her national tour was cancelled due to the COVID lockdown after one sold-out performance in Canberra. From her inner-north apartment in Melbourne, she then created the ‘Iso-Sessions’, a live visual album paying homage to her favourite songwriters including Stevie Wonder and Kate Bush.

The newest addition to the Christmas canon, “Home For Christmas” was recorded at Aviary studios (as soon as lockdown was lifted) with multi-award-winning producer Nick Edin (Matt Joe Gow, Gretta Ray). Written by Laura Ingram, the band features Daniel Brates on drums, Kumar Shome on guitar and James Bowers on Rhodes.

From December 4, purchase of the single includes a digital personalised Christmas card (perfect for sending to love ones). To celebrate the release, tune in for Laura Ingram’s Holiday Live Stream Concert on December 11.
