We celebrated holiday the season with songs from Fort Worth artists Cory Cross, and The Troumatics. From Dallas we kept the spirit going with songs from Loyal Sally, Heart of the City, Kelsey Foster, and we headed up north with Mckinney artist KellyMarie and Denton band Matthew & The Arrogant Sea. Just for good measure, we threw in the latest from Denton psych rockers Pearl Earl, heard “Gold” from Katrina Cain, and more!
You can see the entire playlist after this week’s highlights, and if you are an artist from North Texas, submit your music here.
Cory Cross
“Ice On the Road” is a catchy tune that acknowledges that Christmas can bring about feelings of loneliness. Cross’s voice is incredibly comforting as he sings about missing a loved one during the holidays.
KellyMarie
The McKinney artist released a whole album inspired by the tv show The Office. As if that wasn’t gift enough, she threw in a Christmas party song!
Matthew & The Arrogant Sea
The Denton group wrote a Christmas song about human rights and 100% of the profits go to the ACLU of Texas!
