Our Holiday Playlist

It’s no secret that both Jeff and I love music, but our love for music overflows during the holiday season. To get in the holiday mood we’ve put together our favorite songs, both new and old.

Be sure to enter our  $25 iTunes giveaway before December 26th!

Christmas Biscuits – One of my favorite Irish singers, got Shannah into, finally saw him this past year. Glen Hansard and Mark Geary song to raise money for Dublin’s homeless.

White Christmas – Otis Redding…a legend. If you don’t have Otis in your playlist you are missing out. His voice is so intoxicating and the perfect person to strike a mood of romance.

All That I Want – This a song by husband and wife indie pop-folk duo Deb Talen and Steve Tannan that appears on their Happiness album, but it’s the only real Christmas song on the record.

Oh Light – Gungor(featuring All Sons & Daughters), off their O Christmas ep from 2015. It’s just a song that makes you feel really good at Christmas time.

Christmas Day – She & Him, which is Zoey Desch and indie-artist M. Ward off their first Christmas record, A Very She & Him Christmas.

Silent Night – Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors, Neighborly Christmas album. I’m always looking for new updated versions of classic Christmas songs and Silent Night is one of my favs. I love this version of the song.

8 Days of Hannukah – One for our Jewish friends from Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings.  Sharon Jones died last month from cancer which was a heartbreaker. This great song is off their It’s a Holiday Soul Party from last year.

Meet Ruby Velle & the Soulphonics

Soul music is an American invention that has sonically traveled the world through many emerging incarnations – with the latest being birthed in Atlanta in the form of Ruby Velle & the Soulphonics.

However, today’s new crop of soulful sensations such as St. Paul and the Broken Bones, Charles Bradley, and the chart-topping Alabama Shakes are redefining the sound of Americana soul music, making the new millennial generation take notice. With their new single and video,“Tried on a Smile.”

Ruby Velle & the Soulphonics aim to add their talents to the new wave of American Soul 2.0.
