City of Springfield Director of Public Information & Civic Engagement Cora Scott came up with the idea as a way to create awareness about Springfield's rich musical scene and expand the downtown Festival of Lights. Proceeds benefit the continued creation of holiday lighting and holiday events and activities in downtown Springfield. The album officially launched at the Mayor’s Tree Lighting Ceremony Nov. 17.


"What an extraordinary Christmas gift the Springfield music industry has given to the many holiday-loving visitors to Springfield’s downtown," Scott said. "Our warm thanks to these great artists, producers and distributors for their generosity."


Shawn Matthews, with Mozark Studios executive-produced the album and wrote two of its songs. National Audio in Springfield provided replication services at cost and donated a limited supply of the music on cassette tapes. National Audio is the country's largest manufacturer of professional quality audio cassettes.


"They are an amazing community asset," Scott said. Recognizing the on-going demand for audio cassettes for teaching materials, religious programs, high quality music, and books on tape, National Audio has continued to expand its duplication services to fill the needs of the industry. They have purchased the country's largest duplicators and continues to increase its customer base.
