Imagine being so excited for Christmas morning that you convince your entire family to celebrate a day early every year…That’s Barbra Lica in a chestnut shell. Now, after years of celebrating Christmas on Christmas Eve, Barbra presents a brand new song – “On Christmas Eve” – capturing all the childhood magic and excitement of December 24th. Recorded and produced in collaboration with rising star producer/guitarist Nicolas Tateishi (Aysanabee, Sam Drysdale, Joanna Majoko), the new single, released November 10, 2023, offers a heart-pumping, cinematic experience for the best night of the year when every kid and kid-at-heart innocently begs the question: “Should I even bother going to bed?”
Coming up, she’ll play in Waterloo on Friday, December 15, 2023, @ The Jazz Room – TICKETS, and then will bring her 2022 EP Imposter Syndrome to Alaska in March 2024.
Barbra shares,
“On Christmas Eve is all about the anticipation of the night before Christmas, when the gifts under the tree can still be literally anything…a Switch! Those limited edition sneakers you’ve been eyeing all year! A unicorn! I want people to listen to the track and be transported back in time to when they were kids, putting the last careful decorations on the tree and checking on the chocolate chip cookies in the oven.”
“On Christmas Eve” was produced and performed entirely from Nicolas Tateishi’s basement studio with Barbra on voice and keyboards and Nicolas on guitars and electric bass. The rest (brass, percussion, strings, and synths) were carefully and collaboratively programmed and layered in to build the most epic Christmas Eve experience of all time.
