Short Notes on Christmas

We have known her for a while at CAGG and unfortunately she was absent last year, but this year Trella is back with a beautiful cover of 'Grown-Up Christmas List'. Her sultry voice is still as irresistible. 

Buffalo Tom, the eighties alt-rock heroes, are still going strong and so is Bill Janovitz, their singer, as we can hear on his first (!) subdued solo Christmas track. There's a first time for everything. He sketched this one out on Christmas Eve 2023 and finished it on Thanksgiving 2024.

An Overnight Low has an original take on Santa's sleigh in this this track that is slightly reminiscent of R.E.M. from the Murmur era and bands like The Feelies.

We met them earlier, Sugar World, with a cover of Low's 'Just Like Christmas'. This year they recorded their very first Christmas original. Call it indie, call it dreampop, call it DIY, but love it. 

Guitarróns, accordion en mariachi music in the U.K. you wondered? Listen to these guys from England and Ireland who call themselves Track Dogs, because "I'd rather have burrito's than a big turkey meal".
