Get Local this Holiday Season with the Local Colorado Christmas Spotify Playlist

Nov 30

Yes, the holidays are very different this year. We can’t get together to drink spiked egg nog in our ugly sweaters. There won’t be any White Elephant games with family and friends. Holidays cheers will be made over Zoom instead of in-person. December live musc is next to non-existant. However, no matter how dull the approaching season may seem, there are still ways to get in the holiday spirit. The thing that does it for me is Christmas music, and I’m super happy to present the Local Colorado Christmas Spotify Playlist by Sonder Music Management.

No Christmas is complete without the classics by Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Burl Ives, Andy Williams, The Carpenters, and Perry Como, but I’m here to argue that local Christmas music offers a refreshing take on the joy of the season. From re-done classics to local originals, the playlist gives a true sense of the Colorado music community’s talent and timeliness. Plus, when you listen, you’re supporting our local music scene, and there’s no better gift than that!

My hope is that this playlist will continue to grow, so if you’re a Colorado artist with a holiday song, or you know of one, let me know in the comments!

There are also many holiday tracks by local Colorado bands that aren’t on Spotify yet. One that I absolutely love is from local electronic giant MIDIcinal, with his spin on Charlie Brown Xmas.

Here’s the complete list of what you’ll find on the Local Colorado Christmas Spotify Playlist, which features music exclusively from Colorado artists, big and small:

Face Vocal Band

Misty Mountain Wonderland
Silver Bells

No holiday season is complete without a little music from Colorado’s favorite A Capella group, Face Vocal Band. Face normally has a busy lineup of holiday shows, which they’re continuing this year online. You can visit their Facebook for more information on their live streams, and their YouTube for an entire holiday video playlist.
