Founding Member Matthew Leptich performs The Holly and the Ivy in dedication to Dean J. Griffiths. Dean arranged the song with Nicole Heyl for Rebecca Zellar's 2016 adaptation of A Christmas Carol while also playing the role of Ebenezer Scrooge.
Dean loved working on music with his friends, and his minor key Christmas carols were a delight for all. He was collaborative, creative, goofy, and gifted with the ability to teach, make music, act, and sketch, all while doing math on a napkin to pass the time. He will be missed and not soon forgotten.
Thank you, Matt, for sharing this wonderful rendition of the song.
A bit of a renaissance man, Matthew is an actor, improvisor, musician, singer, writer, metal worker, and a blacksmith. He and his wife of 25 years have four children, three dogs, four cats, four chickens, and one rogue grackle.
