We all know where the focus is this weekend. The holidays are here, and it’s time to feel jolly.
So, we’ve picked a few cuts from our latest Underground Holiday Hits playlist to get you in the spirit. Check these out as an appetizer for the whole dang holiday meal, which you’ll find right here.

Sounds of the season. Sounds from all over the world. They’re all here!
It’s December, which means it’s time to include a handful of holiday tunes, in addition to songs that fit the vibe any time of year. Speaking of the holidays, we’ve also got a few artists performing on this week’s Bundle Up Nash annual clothing drive here in Nashville, if you’re craving some local flavors.

Last year, this was the UMC20: Holiday Edition. Since then, more holiday jams have been released by independent artists all over the world, and we decided that we couldn’t leave it to just 20 songs!
We’ll be updating this every year, and we’ll be adding way more than we subtract. This year’s updated playlist has tunes from artists all over the world — from right here in Nashville, to all the way in Israel. So, let the record show that the spirit of the season is alive and well, everywhere you go.

It’s pretty odd to think that we’re coming to the tail end of 2020. For one thing, things have actually picked up here considerably in UMC Land in December, with more live streams and all sorts of other fun on our plates. Imagine that — a December that actually gets busier as it goes.
For another, more obvious point: it has certainly felt at times like 2020 would never end, hasn’t it?
