2. Jingle Bells
Ok punks, and head-bangers, it's time to rock this holiday season and the mouth trumpet is getting ready to party. This upbeat classic is sure to have you get you jingling all the way. Trumpet along as we start dashing through our shopping lists, and laughing with our friends.

3. Silent Night
On Silent Night the mouth trumpet put's on it's evening attire and showcases it's four part harmonies. Settle into a comfortable armchair and grab a cocktail, or maybe a glass of whiskey as it entertains you for a solo on the stage. The mouth trumpet sings this timeless tune to perfection, and will be sure to provide the best entertainment for Christmas Eve.

4. Deck The Halls
Nothing can quite compare to the harmonies, synthesizers, and bass-lines of the 80s, especially when it comes to their renditions of class Christmas songs. On Deck The Halls the mouth trumpet connects with this vintage sound in an unforgettable way. It sings on top of a track complete with synthesizers, vocoders, and string pads. Dance around the halls of your own abode with the mouth trumpet on Christmas morning, giving and receiving gifts with those you love.

5. The First Noel
Let the mouth trumpet wrap up Christmas Day and remind you of what made it special. The First Noel is a spirited and robust serenade for the close of Christmas Day. The simple piano sets a fulfilled and grateful mood, along with pensive classical guitar. Playful pizzicato violins echo our cheerful laughter before the mouth trumpet soars atop romantic swells of strings.

6. O Come O Come Emmanuel
The album closes with a sentimental ballad to finish the holiday season with. This folksy and emotional song is driven by a phenomenal banjo arrangement by Jordan Williams of Go Home Gary. The mouth trumpet shares it's perspective and invites you to cherish the special holiday moments you've had. We can't say what this upcoming year will hold, but we can be grateful for time we've shared together.
