Richard Souther is an immensely gifted (and Grammy-nominated) composer and arranger of instrumental music. From solo piano and synths to electronica, he pretty much does it all, and we’ve been fans of his for a very long time. This year, he’s released a remarkable new album merging electronica with ancient instruments called Tesla’s Christmas…the proceeds from which will be donated to his two favorite charities: The Rescue Mission of Salt Lake City and No More Homeless Pets in Utah. Richard has brought us Coventry Carol from the album to share with you.
The Nadas hail from Iowa and have been together for 15 years. They’re sharing Here Comes Christmas this year.
Christmas In New York was written by Mark Mangold of the NYC-based band The Radiant and songwriter Aida Brandes. This cheery holiday tune is performed by Mangold, Brandes and singer/songwriter Lyza Wilson.
Janyse is a Canadian singer and voiceover artist. She’s released an entire album of Christmas music called The Magic of Christmas. You’ll enjoy her lovely performance of the song Blessed Is This Holy Night.
F&M has been described as “a gently sardonic, dark and hopelessly clever art-folk band that began as a 48 hour experiment in recording during a fireworks festival”. This duo from Edmonton is offering up Christmas Alleluia for us to share with you.
The Kathy Fleischmann Band is comprised of four seasoned singer/songwriter/musicians from New York. They chose to record Christmas Train because they wanted to write a holiday song that wasn’t bright and cheery since many people, for any number of personal reasons, have a really hard time getting through the holiday season.
Songwriter James Madison Thomas wroted and recorded a song back in the Eighties with help from singer Joe Fish. Emerging from the recesses of his songwriting vault, James has dusted off this delightful tune and is presenting it here this year. It’s called One Starry Night (The Manger Scene).
Wormburner offers up a somewhat edgier approach with The Bells Of St. Ignatius, a happy-sounding paean to the holiday with a bit of a painful underlying agenda.
Douglas Campbell returns this year with It’s That Time Of Year Again.

We’re delighted to present you with 3 more great Christmas songs for free download this morning:
Bob Bennett – This thoughtful and articulate singer/songwriter has made a powerful impact on Christian music fans with his inspiring and challenging music for the past 30 years, and he’s offering up a beautiful piece called Brightest and Best, from his new album Christmastide.
Ken Medema – Functionally blind since birth, Ken has nonetheless demonstrated lifelong vision both in his embrace of the power of the unseen Lord and in his heart for the disenfranchised of this world. He’s been pounding out great tunes at the piano for many decades (and we’ve been fans personally since the mid-Seventies!). He’s sharing Here Is The One, from his album Watching The Sky.
The Sonflowerz – A Colorado-based “sister act”, these two lovely young ladies (Elissa and Becca Leander) have brought us their smooth-as-silk version of O Come All Ye Faithful, from their album Beautiful Miracle.
All three of these songs are available now for free download from FeelsLikeChristmas.com
