The piano-playing brothers are featured in a one-hour show, The O'Neill Brothers: Piano for Someone You Love, which includes holiday favorites and selections from their upcoming CD release, Someone You Love. Guest vocalist Deborah Gibson, known for her '80s pop music hits and Broadway roles, is featured on several selections - including a new acoustic version of her hit "Lost In Your Eyes" and the title track from the upcoming album, "Someone You Love."
