Creative Work Hour presents Tiny Desk Concert, "Blue Christmas" à la New Orleans by Alessandra White

There have been upwards of 1,000 Creative Work Hour live online sessions on Zoom, and some on Discord. CWH is a warm community of creatives who may not see themselves that way, but oh, how they create! Running sessions 365 days per year, now in our third year, takes a lot of dedication, but all of us are here to firstly, encourage each other & secondly, build resilience.

Tiny Desk Concerts are a feature of the #CWH Community. It’s a five-minute talent show performed live in front of a friendly online audience. But there’s no pressure on anyone to give it a go. It’s only by request, and the group doesn’t know ahead of time when a tiny desk concert is “at curtain.” This allows space for nerves to arise and a quick retreat, if desired.

This rendition of Blue Christmas is Dixie-land style, a chart written for the famous sad Christmas standard first performed by Elvis Presley. It is played by CWH founder and host, @alessandrawhite.
