INDIE MUSICIANS CELEBRATE THE SEASON
There have been a lot of ingenious indie artists sharing the holidays with their friends, and we salute them for their efforts. This year’s award for best campaign goes to Jennifer Vazquez for her “12 Days ‘Til Christmas.” She created a group for her fans, and serenaded them every day with a different a capella Christmas song. Way to raise your awareness, Jen!
NEW SINGLES
Our first single this week comes from the sweet pop sound of mobil avenue. We really like their song, and look forward to seeing what they come up with as they anticipate releasing a lot of singles in 2019. Here’s “Hearts.”
Next up is a cover of the classic song “Christmastime is Here” which we have all heard over and over again in the classic Christmas show A Charlie Brown Christmas. Hats off to Grayshot for a splendid job.
Our third single is another holiday classic. This time around, Matt LeGrand brings us his pop version of “White Christmas.” Enjoy.
Next up is the latest from LA’s own Standing Before Kings. Check out this historically accurate song, “St. Helena” and let it rock your holidays.
For our final single this week, we bring you YouTube sensation Arlene Zelina. We shared her beautiful Christmas song two weeks ago, and now bring you her new single, “Dream of Me.” We can’t get enough of her voice and hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
NEW MUSIC VIDEOS
Our first music video this week encourages everyone “Don’t be Lonely This Christmas” with the sweet Americana sound of The Herron Brothers. We think that’s great advice.
Next is the latest from Family Jools. We love the feel of “Don’t Know.” Please let us know what you think.
Last week we had the privilege of reviewing the latest album from SoutherlandAyers. Today we are proud to share the music video for their first single, “Great Flight Home.” We think this one is perfect for this season.
Our fourth music video comes from electro-rock artist MORRISON. Here is her song “Heart on Fire,” which we think is smoking hot. This girl can siiiiiing!
We close out the week with the latest one-man “boy band” in the person of Dylan Dunlap. Fresh off his opening slot for OneRepublic, check out his video for “LiarLover.” We think this one will get your week off to a great start.
