Susan Gray takes Christmas 'Fireside' with new CD!


“I named the album Fireside because these are songs that make you want to curl up next to the fire. They are songs that bring peace.”

Susan Gray’s Fireside is a collection of Christmas classics and worship songs focused on the peace and comfort brought by the birth of Jesus.


“There are hundreds of people around the country who are losing jobs and homes and their Christmas might be a time of tension,” Gray said. “I hope that, when they listen to the CD, people will be able to curl up by the Fireside and find peace in Jesus.”


Susan Gray is a singer/songwriter based in Houston who was raised in the foster-care system. She dedicates her time and talent to help orphan and foster children with Buckner International, a vast organization founded in 1879 with the purpose of caring for widows and orphans based on the New Testament mandate of Jesus Christ. For nearly 130 years, Buckner has cared for the diversified needs of those Jesus called “the least of these.”


“The Christmas before my mother died, I got to sing my first solo with her in the audience,” she said. “And even though I knew that it might be the last Christmas I would spend with her, there was this tremendous peace. That same Christmas, I was able to perform a carol, and my mother was there watching. I’ll never forget it because, it was the first time I sang a solo and the only time my mother would watch me do it.

Not long after, I was in seventh-hour choir, singing “Dona Nobis Pacem” which means “Grant us Peace” when they came in to tell me she had died.

So, in “Fireside,” I asked all three of my children to sing the round “Grant us Peace.”

The whole idea behind the CD was to create the same atmosphere on this project as I experienced that night when my mother was listening to me sing. I hope that, when they listen to the CD, people will be able to curl up by the Fireside and find peace in Jesus.

SUSAN is available to do ON-AIR interviews ... ID tags & liners! She would love sharing her heart with your listeners this Christmas season!
