Holiday Songs

GLORY TO THE NEWBORN KING   Erin Hannon   “Hark The Herald” classical with a full lyric soprano that rolls her rrrrs.  "Sleep In Heavenly Peace.” The brains behind this master is Stephen Melillo, the music director of the award-winning movie, "One Little Finger" w/ Siedah Garrett, and the longline "Ability in Disability."  

NEVER TAKE LOVE FOR GRANTED Dan Berggren  Shopping in the malls for Christmas. “You’ll never take love for granted if you always give love in return.”  Male bass/baritone and acoustic guitar.  Folk styled.  

GOT MY EYE ON YOU, SANTA  Jody Quine & the Big Mr. C.  Female vocals.  Christmas bells.  Flirting with Santa!  Like Katrina and the Waves meets the Shirelles. 

 

CHRISTMAS IS COMING Leo Schaff   Beach Boys meets Shins. Male vocals. His true love ran around the world, and said she’d make it home for the holidays.  A year has gone by, and he’s singing, “Christmas is coming, New Years is coming,” sand “Will you make it home for the holidays?” 

leightonmedia · Christmas Is Coming  by Leo Schaff

WHY CAN’T EVERYDAY BE LIKE CHRISTMAS  (ballad) Tang a gentle, lush song with stand out chimes, bells, violin, and viola, angels, stars shining, and bells ringing.  Denny Colt sings in a sweet, girl-next door voice and range similar to Cassadee Pope’s or Emma Roberts. 

BadPacRecords · Why Can't Everyday Be Like Christmas_ballad

This just in: ROLLING STONE Country writes:

Bird Streets is John Brodeur's new project, with production from Jason Falkner (Jellyfish, TV Eyes). John is also in Austin.  Newly signed to Omnivore records, the label is ripping him for syncs, and I'm plugging his songs. Listen to "Betting on the Sun," which is sounds like Elvis Costello meets Brian Wilson.   




Rachael Sage has been an inspiration to friends for years.  She's performing Saturday afternoon, March 16  at 4:45 PM CT, at Art.Work, 201 E 5th St., in Austin.

Rachael performs in London on May 16 at the Bedford.
Next week she's releasing an acoustic album  (PSEUDOMYOPIA) of songs from her current full band collection: MYOPIA.

"Alive" is such an upbeat song, listing topical possibilities "including microfilm being pulled out of the archive," " the olympics where nobody ever cheats!"  She mentions Frida Kahlo,  and the hook "IT’S GOOD TO BE ALIVE."
