Brandon VanDalen is Strategic. That's not just the name he records and performs under, that's his life credo. He is strategic in the way he writes some of the best pop music you'll hear these days. He has a great ear for hooks and his songs are filled with them. Since 2010, Strategic has released not only several incredible pop albums, but a pair of well received Christmas albums and the first half of a project aimed at children that's so good parents will want to listen to it too. The combination of Strategic's hooks and positive lyrics are infectious and something we can all use to lift us up."With My Beating Heart" and "Possibilities" written and performed by Strategic℗ 2023 Brandon VanDalen.

The second Penelope's Thrill album, Message on the Moon, will be released in early 2024, featuring many Madison-area musicians.   More info is on the Penelope's Thrill website: https://www.penelopesthrill.com/   Lyrics and other info for "Christmas on the Moon" can be found on BandCamp: https://penelopesthrill.bandcamp.com/track/christmas-on-the-moon Weekend Picnic "Wish List" Weekend Picnic, a hard rock band from Minneapolis MN. We just recently released our 6 track Christmas EP- A Christmas Weekend Picnic.    Wyatt Thomson: "Christmas Time I'm So Lonesome" Wyatt Thomson's first release on Philville Records is this original melancholy-yet chipper holiday single, Christmas Time I'm so Lonesome. Featuring Thomson on lead vocals & guitars, he's joined by his pals the Driftless Revelers (Ben Nelson, Jerod Kaszynski, Matt Sayles), as well as Mark Johnson on Accordion, and Dawson Redenius (of Good Morning Bedlam) on trumpet.   Here's a link to more info on Wyatt: https://www.philvillerecords.com/wyattthomson   Cookies & Crème "Deck The Halls" With the twist on the classic “Deck the Halls” we threw as many Christmas references as possible in our verses while keeping the song clean and “kid friendly”    The Periodicals: "Highwater or Hell"  written and performed by The Periodicals. Recorded live at WORT FM The Rezzonators: It's Christmas Time" A holiday original song that we wrote in a previous band called Albatross.  The song title is "It's Christmas Time."  I hope you enjoy it! Weekend Picnic "Wish List" Weekend Picnic, a hard rock band from Minneapolis MN. We just recently released our 6 track Christmas EP- A Christmas Weekend Picnic.  Chainsaw Curtis: "Just Not X-mas (Without You)"  Clueless protagonist's wife splits with the kid just before the holidays. He manages to get hammered on rum . He ponders the futility of putting up decorations and getting in the car to look for them during the snowstorm. My stage persona, Chainsaw Curtis, did his first nightclub gig in upstate NY in 1970. He was co-owner of the Silver Moon Blues Oasis in Darien from 1989 to 1993 and continues to play blues, R&B, R'n'R and original music all over Wisconsin and Northern Illinois with The Creeper Dustin Warbear - Grinch This is a Christmas song from the perspective of the Grinch, but more of an R rated Grinch than the normal movie one. Not your typical Christmas music  Tyler Sjostrom "How's the Weather Where You Are" for consideration for your holiday music showcase. A little background - I grew up with big family Christmasses in North Dakota, but as everyone's grown and moved away, we don't see each other at the holidays anymore. So that's what this song is about - missing those days (and seeing a familiar joy in my kids and nieces/nephews), but hoping we can all get together again if the stars align just right. Enjoy  Barbara Ann: "Country Christmas" This energetic holiday jingle will have you feeling ready for a sleigh ride through the countryside this Christmas season Xposed 4Heads: "Dance with the Krampus" & "Sleigh Ride" From Milwaukee, is a legendary fun rock band that gets played on SiriusXM, Dr. Demento and has headlined DEVO's annual fan fest.     Dance with the Krampus is a song about the Germanic folk legend of a half goat, half demon that punishes the bad children on the same night that St. Nick gives gifts to the good children. The Jerks: "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" & "Winter WOnderland" A punk spin on a Christmas classic with a deceiving a capella introduction.    Winter Wonderland A call-and-response twist on a traditional holiday song, featuring spouses on background vocals. Rumor has it The Jerks may work on some new original songs soon. :)  Michael Legut: "A Cowboy Christmas" Michael is a Singer/Songwriter with a flair for unusual and mindful songs.   This song is written for all the cowboys and cowgirls who may have to work at the job over the Christmas holiday. Michael Massey: Do You Hear What I Hear" & "O Come, O Come, Emm anuel   mikemasseymusic@gmail.com www.mikemasseymusic.com www.dracularockballet.com www.facebook.com/michael.massey2 7000apart: "White Noise" & "Runaway" Social links: linktr.ee/7000apart   Bio:  Swedish-American alt-pop duo 7000apart, composed of singer Amelie Eiding and multi-instrumentalist Jon Kresin, craft a deeply emotive musical journey that blends powerful vocals, evocative songwriting, and moody melodies. Emerging from the crossroads of their personal struggles with mental health, their music resonates with authenticity and self-acceptance. Their story began when Amelie, a Swedish exchange student, met Jon in Wisconsin, sparking a creative bond that transcended the 7000 kilometers that separated them. Now married and united in their passion for music, 7000apart's music delves into themes of self-discovery and mental health. With an unwavering commitment to spreading positivity and hope, they forge a unique path in the indie-pop landscape. Daylight Riot: "Lament" "Daylight Riot is a four-piece heavy metal band hailing from Green Bay, WI. The band officially formed in the summer of 2021 and soon after, began to play shows around the Fox Valley. Daylight Riot's music is a blend of classic heavy metal and progressive metal. The band draws lyrical and thematic inspiration from the works of Edgar Allen Poe and H.P. Lovecraft to create a gloomy and haunting atmosphere within their music." Daylight Riot Social Media: https://www.facebook.com/DaylightRiot https://instagram.com/daylightriot https://tiktok.com/@daylightriot https://daylightriot.bandcamp.com/ Drive-a-tron: "Glow In The Dark" & "Leather Coats" An indie-rock/dance band mixing together heavy grooves, unexpected harmonies, pulsing keyboards, and poly-rhythmic lyrics as ingredients in a joyous musical burrito. Lightweight and easy to pack, Drive-a-tron is typically run by one person (Paul Vash - Madison, WI) who writes the songs, plays the instruments, makes the videos, and changes the oil. Dick Elliot: "God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman" & "O Holy Night" You could say that Dick Eliot had an Epiphany of sorts when it came to selecting the songs and subject matter for his latest album: “O Holy Night!” “I wanted to record a Christmas album,” Dick said. He wanted to pay homage to his deep and abiding faith. This is nothing new. There has been a spiritual connection of some kind in all of Dick's recordings. “This one's for Mom,” Dick said. “I titled it O Holy Night.” That was her favorite Christmas Carol.

Brooks and Holmes preview the upcoming production of "Sing We Now of a Christmas Carol" at The Orpheum Theatre in Galesburg December 1st through December 3rd.

Sarah Shoffner the new Executive Director of the Boston Gay Men's Chorus (BGMC) talks with Emmy Winner Charlotte Robinson host of OUTTAKE VOICES™ about their upcoming holiday concert series entitled “Joyful & Triumphant & Gay.” Founded in 1982 this fabulous 200+ voice ensemble is presenting their first live holiday concert since 2019. Upcoming performances under BGMC Music Director Reuben Reynolds are December 16th, 17th and 18 at New England Conservatory's Jordan Hall in Boston, MA. The title of the show is a tribute to Dean X. Johnson the accompanist and assistant director of the New York City Gay Men's Chorus (NYCGMC) who died of AIDS in 1998 at age 42. Johnson composed “Joyful and Triumphant!” with fellow NYCGMC member Jeff Baron at the height of the AIDS crisis in 1992. “Joyful & Triumphant & Gay” opens with the traditional French carol “Sing We Now of Christmas” and features classics like Bruckner's “Ave Maria” and “Locus iste” alongside modern holiday fare that includes Cyndi Lauper's “Christmas Conga”, “A Place Called Home” from “A Christmas Carol: The Musical” and Kylie Minogue's “Christmas Isn't Christmas 'Til You Get Here.” The concert will also feature two pieces by American composer Jacob J. Narverud including “Sisi Ni Moja” which means we are one in Swahili and a performance of the powerful “Ukrainian Bell Carol” as a reminder of the horrible human costs of war and our capacity for joy despite them. The chorus will also debut a new suite by BGMC Principal Accompanist and Assistant Music Director Chad Weirick which draws on classic carols and Christmas music to reflect his experience of the COVID-19 pandemic. We talked to Sarah about what she hopes to accomplish with BGMC and her spin on our LGBTQ issues.  Sarah Shoffner joined BGMC as Executive Director in September 2022. Sarah's expertise is in developing strategies and programs to help arts and other nonprofit organizations achieve their operational and artistic goals. Shoffner most recently served as Boston Ballet's Benefactors' Circle Development Officer. Previously she served as BGMC's Engagement Manager for six years where she modernized the organization's development systems including ticketing processes and launched the Ovation Society, BGMC's donor loyalty program. In addition to the leadership roles Shoffner has held in nonprofit arts organizations Sarah holds a Master of Science in Arts Administration from Boston University and two degrees from the University of South Florida in Business Management and Dance Studies. BGMC's fabulous holiday show “Joyful & Triumphant & Gay” celebrates the season with traditional favorites, modern classics and just lots of gay camp fun.
