A Knoxville pianist is offering a newly recorded Christmas album this year, with the proceeds going to local charities.

Kevin Stittsworth, a Central College and Knoxville High School graduate, says the charities the album supports are close to his heart. As a young man he got a dog from the Marion County Humane Society and educators support of his life in music inspired him to select the Knoxville Music Boosters as a recipient. His Church is also a recipient. Stittsworth’s album, “Joy to the World”, can be purchased at Grand Headlines, Main Street Market, New Covenant Church and Sheer Designs in Knoxville and in Pella at the Wine House and The Sanctuary, as well as through most online music services.
