Santa 02:07
Well I wrecked a chimney up there in Alaska, and I smashed the sleigh into a Christmas tree Left my dear old Rudolph in Nebraska he was too drunk to fly the gifts to Milwaukee Well I crashed into a church in Colorado Running from the cops in Santa Fe I’m wanted as the jolly desperado From frosty Maine to sunny Monterey They call me Santa that’s my name Cruising cross the world in just one day you will know me by the presents that I’ve strewn across your lawn and the beer you had inside your fridge is gone Have a merry Christmas carry on

You're the author of his story, he’s merry, jolly and cheery the one who brings good fortune and presents at every turn He spans the world in flight Gifts to every child at night Excited children lie awake after parents have turned off the light It's that little hunch in their mind at christmas time Going round and round hear the sleigh bells ring going round and round and the children sing everything is well on a christmas carousel wide awake and knowing while outside it’s snowing you'll never know just what you’ll see Underneath the Christmas tree

about

Santa is our take on the beloved Santa Claus, portraying him as somewhat of an outlaw and a bandit. What better way to get our tale across than with some old school country rock 'n' roll, some do-wop backing vocals and some oohs a la the Four Seasons.

We recorded Santa in a live setting at the Icelandic Embassy Studios on Halloween 2015, with overdubs done the following week. Christmas Carousel was recorded in 2014.

about

The Long Wait

We play melodic folk rock that sits somewhere between the old school classic folk rock of Fleetwood Mac and the modern country pop of Brandi Carlile. We'd like to think we play music for anyone who can relate to strong harmonies, rich acoustic/electric guitar blends and popular song structure. ... more
