He’s Here!
A Musical Christmas Offering for All
A real jewel-box of a holiday celebration, He’s Here! offers shiny songs, sparkling stories, and seasonal melodies that will have you smiling and swaying and singing along.
It’s a transformative show that makes classic carols new, and new carols classic while relaying the Christmas story we all know so well. New versions of old favourites include Silent Night and Go Tell It on The Mountain.
He’s Here! invites audience participation (depends on it, actually) to augment the experience of humorous stories and surprising poetic recitations. The singers’ four-part harmonies will make you shiver with delight as musically, the dynamic three-piece band boots it to the next level.
He’s Here! presents songs from Jeanine Noyes’ Christmas album and the Christmas play, 2000 Candles, in addition to carols now considered classics.
If you’re looking for something familiar but refreshing to offer your community this Christmas, consider contacting Jeanine to book He’s Here!

We were thrilled to host Jeanine, Henry, David and Stephanie at our church recently for a Christmas concert. The music was wonderful, and our folks loved the new twists put on some traditional favourites. The band was first rate as were the vocal and spoken performances. I cannot recommend too strongly hosting an evening with Jeanine and company. It will brighten your Christmas celebrations!
Reverend Kevin Moore, Port Hope United Church
I am not usually a fan of Christmas concerts which often foist cheer onto those who struggle during the holidays. However, this beautiful service was an authentic, warm and bright gift of music; the kind that chokes you up when listening to the harmonies melting together as the voices blend upward. Silent Night is one of the few favourite carols in my heart, and Jeanine’s version sank deep into my soul immediately. Somewhere between Stephanie’s retelling of the Christmas story (from a mariner’s point of view) to Henry’s bass melodies, smiles lit up our faces. By the end of the evening, Dave’s bluesy piano and Jeanine’s voice had guests up and dancing…more than once. …This concert was a gift to our whole community. Thank you for starting this month off with real Hope. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

What a delightful Christmas surprise! From a jazzed-up version of Silent Night to kick off the night, to several great stories, a few sing-along favourites and some new tunes, Jeanine Noyes and her talented band had the audience enthralled and humming along the whole evening!
