Boundary pushing Bluegrass/Americana band Nefesh Mountain is kicking off the holiday season with a new one-time series for Hanukkah called 8 Nights with Nefesh Mountain! Beginning this Sunday, November 28 the band will begin an eight-night run, releasing new music videos from its recent album Live From Levon Helm Studios: A Hanukkah/Holiday Concert.

"I like sad songs," says Canadian songwriter B. Knox, whose second studio album — the tellingly titled Far From Folk — blends cosmic Americana, left-field honky tonk, rugged country-rock, and woozy roots music into its own melancholic mix. Far From Folk roots itself in the modern struggles we all endure, replete with vignettes about romance, estrangement, and the long journey toward hope. There are sad songs here, to be sure, but there's also an overarching sense of optimism, with B.

Bluegrass virtuoso Becky Buller is celebrating the release of two new holiday tracks today packaged as The Christmas 45, Vol. 2 on Dark Shadow Recording. Produced by Dark Shadow label head Stephen Mougin, Christmas 45, Vol. 2 features original tracks “The Box” and “Mary Rocked Her Baby” featuring The Fairfield Four.

The Mother Hips have shared "Clay Mask Clown"—the third and final single to be released from their new studio album, Glowing Lantern, out next Friday, December 3 on Blue Rose (Listen/Share).
