Christmas with Clay

Clay Aiken's "Christmas in the Heartland" tour, his fourth Christmas tour kicks off tomorrow, Nov. 26th, in Wichita Kansas. This year, he's asked members of his fan club to submit their own holiday stories for inclusion in his show. Two or three lucky fans will get to be on stage with Clay to read their own story as he plans on weaving their stories into the show as the lead to a song.

Some of the interviews he's been giving include information on the new CD he's planning to release early next year. So without further blabbing from me, here are the links to the various interviews.
