Teri Tobin brings soul to the holidays

Try and we're going to dig into this McKee. I'm going to send it over to you. We are starving over here in the kitchen. All right. Well, thank you. I know it's good over there. I can smell it. Well, I am here this morning with award winning R&B soul singer and songwriter Terry Tobin. She is helping us all get into the holiday spirit this morning. Terry is so good to have you in studio. Welcome. Happy early holidays. Tell us about the single that you're going to be performing for us today on your new album. So this song is called Christmas Won't Be the Same. We wrote it with the thought that some people, you know, have difficulty during the season where their loved one may be somewhere else. And this song kind of leads into that. But I'm also a big, I was born on Valentine's Day, so everything about me is about love. So this kind of is in tune with my motto to, you know, spread love, one love song at a time. I love that. And let's get into this beautiful song of yours. Thank you. Plus this year. I'm guessing that you already know. Baby, it's painful. The only gift I want is having you here. I just want you here. It won't be the same without you. Mistletoe and maker. My love right here, back in my arms. Dream must start. That we share our next kiss. It is. Wow. Your voice is like silk, Terri. Oh, thank you. Oh, my goodness. That's so beautiful. Thank you. What is it about holiday music that you love to create and sing? So part of it is just, you know, I know that every year you kind of look forward to it. Like Christmas doesn't start for me until I hear Donny Hathaway's This Christmas. So I kind of was in that mode. I want to have music that, you know, that every year you look forward to. Yeah, and your new album, Home for the Holidays, what makes this album different from any other traditional Christmas album? I feel like it's because we took a different spin on some of the favorites, and also I wrote some originals as well. And then I have a song on there called Home for the Holidays that has a little go-go feel. Okay. D.C. roots, I mean, you went to Howard University, so it's only right. That's right, that's right, that's right. Okay, I love that. So what else can we expect? You're an independent artist. So many of your fans, I'm sure, they want to continue to support you. What should we look out for? So in February, I have a new album coming out called Forevermore. I have a show this Thursday, tomorrow, at Songbird Music House here in D.C. What time? So the show starts at 8 o'clock. Tickets are still available. And so I have other shows coming up. You know, if you want to follow me on socials, you can also go to my website, TerryTobin.com. Or to find my music, you can go to TerryTobin.Bandcamp.com. All right. Well, we look forward to hearing more of Terry Tobin. Yes. You are incredibly talented. Thank you so much for sharing that with us this morning. Thank you. We appreciate it. All right. All right, guys. Don't go anywhere. We're going to be back with more Good Day DC for you after the break. Stay with us.
