“Christmas in the Valley” Song Turns 30
Hard to believe A favorite CNY Christmas hit is 30 years old!
In November of 1991, local celebrities, musicians, and their family and friends flocked to Acqrok Studios on Genessee Street in Utica to record a Christmas song to benefit the Stevens-Swan Humane Society.
Some of the local musicians who participated in the song’s chorus include Jon Liebing, Mark Bolos, Paul Angerosa, Al Galime, Jim Kelly, Dan Budzynski, Jim Palitti, Dare Riegler, and Paul Case.
“Christmas in the Valley” was written by Mark Werchowski and is still played on local radio stations every holiday season. The tune is a favorite as it reflects on the beauty of The Mohawk Valley during the holidays.
