The Essential Advent Calendar: December 12

Essential Advent Calendar: December 11 – KELLY FINNIGAN (MONOPHONICS) DROPS NEW HOLIDAY LP “A JOYFUL SOUND”

It’s December 11, the 11th door is open on our Essential Advent Calendar, and Kelly Finnigan (singer/songwriter/producer of the soul band Monophonics) releases his new holiday-inspired soul album ‘A Joyful Sound’ via Colemine Records. All 11 of these new tracks were written or co-written by Kelly and hearken back to the golden age of soul, albeit with a positive holiday lean.

The Essential Advent Calendar: December 6 – Mylo Rhodes ‘I Love Christmas (Almost As Much As I Love You’

It’s December 6 and as we open the 6th door we find independent singer songwriter Mylo Rhodes, who has released what should become a Christmas standard, with his song, ‘I Love Christmas Almost As Much As I Love You’. Rhodes’ aim is to get the track into the top spot on the charts this Christmas, and with some positive press under his belt so far, it seems possible that this could happen.
