“If I Got You (Under My Tree)” by Virginia Beach native Chloe Wallace is an original swing-style Christmas song, new this year but timelessly classic. Available at digital retailers everywhere, ALL PROCEEDS from direct digital downloads of the song in 2016 – along with some generous matching funds from Norfolk’s O’Connor Brewing Company and FM Restaurant – will go directly to benefit The Up Center, the region's oldest and largest nonprofit family services organization!
The quickest and most direct way to put a full dollar into the donation fund is via your purchase of “If I Got You (Under My Tree)” at CDBaby; go to http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/chloewallace1. We intend to offer all donations of CDBaby sales of this song – and the matching funds from the aforementioned local businesses – to The Up Center before Christmas.
Born and raised in Virginia Beach, Chloe Wallace currently studies Economics at Old Dominion University in Norfolk and routinely performs a charming mix of cover songs and original music in intimate venues throughout Hampton Roads. Please be sure to also check out her debut single “Misconception”!
Please help us all make this as big a success as possible; Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
You can preview the song in full here:
(You can also listen to the full song at streaming services such as Spotify but please know that it won’t count towards the donation fund, sorry. The royalty rates are negligible – mere fractions of a cent – and would take months to filter down to us anyway.)

By way of (re)introduction, I am Warren (“Chip”) Russell. I recently retired from the US Army after a 23-year career, most of that as a guitar player in various US Army bands in several different countries. A musician by both profession and temperament, I am now an “independent music professional” as the saying goes. Quicksilver Night Productions (QNP) is my music publishing and production company. I have a number of musical irons in the fire at any given point as QNP. My role varies project by project and from song to song; I am a composer and an arranger (ASCAP) and I also I produce/co-produce, engineer, and collaborate.
Just so you can put a face to the name here’s a picture of me performing at a Relay for Life event in 2014 courtesy of Larry Ferdinande Photography:
