Vicki Lewis Releases Special Christmas EP

Vicki Lewis, best known to audiences for her role as Beth on the hit NBC comedy Newsradio, as well as her work in feature length animation (Finding Nemo, Alpha and Omega) and for her star turns as Velma Kelly in the Broadway production of Chicago and as Gloria Thorpe in the Broadway revival of Damn Yankees announces the release of an EP of four Christmas songs titled Santa's Little Helper, with all of the proceeds from sales of the EP going to support the Los Angeles organization Project Angel Food.

Project Angel Food's mission is to nourish the body and spirit of men, women and children affected byHIV/AIDS, cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. Project Angel Food volunteers and staff cook and deliver free and nutritious meals prepared with love throughout Los Angeles, acting out of a sense of urgency because hunger and illness do not wait. They deliver more than 13,000 meals every week to people in need.

Santa's Little Helper features vocals by Ms. Lewis, and music direction and piano accompaniment by Richard Berent. Berent also lends vocals to the duet "Baby it's Cold Outside." Additional tracks are the holiday favorites "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" and "Silent Night", along with an original composition by Berent and Douglas Braverman titled "The Twelve Nights of Christmas", a hilarious and slightly naughty send up of the classic "Twelve Days of Christmas". The EP is available now for digital download on iTunes, Amazon, and CD Baby. It was produced, mixed and mastered by Philip G. Allen, with the original studio recording engineered by Ashburn Miller at Entourage Studios in North Hollywood, CA.
