Last year, Grammy-winning producer Peer Munck brought a group of Nashville musicians together to perform a collection of Christmas songs of their choice on an album to help raise funds for a local charity. The resulting album helped provide dozens of families in Williamson County, Tennessee with a hearty holiday feast and over 100 children with Christmas presents and clothes.

The 2021 Leiper’s Fork Christmas Album continues that tradition. It features 14 original and traditional Christmas songs performed by local artists who again are donating all the proceeds from the sale of the album to Leiper’s Fork Helping Hands, a 501.c.3 registered charity that provides hardship assistance to local children and families in need.

“Despite all the money and investments that have flowed into Williamson County over the past decade, there are still families who struggle economically and need cheering up for the Holidays,” says Matt Smith, Chairman at Leiper’s Fork Helping Hands. Founder Larry Montgomery adds, “as incredible as it may sound, there are still people in this area who live in homes with dirt floors.”

Assisted by engineer Anna Clark, several of the songs on the album were recorded at Puckett’s Grocery & Restaurant in Leiper’s Fork, TN, where many of the artists perform on a regular basis.

“All the artists on the album have a connection to this place,” says Peer Munck, producer at MunckMusic. “The owners generously gave us the use of their equipment for recording during off-hours, illustrating the ‘local folks helping local folks’ spirit of the project.”
