Making a second appearance in the calendar-countdown is BRDGS.

I’m a big fan of BRDGS. As I’ve written before, the former Steady Brook resident has been crafting amazing pop songs for years (check out his early work as part of Everglow).

His new ep A Very BRDGS CHRSTMS Vol. 1 continues the theme. You should assume pop means happy though. ‘This Christmas,’ is not exactly a joyful romp. It paints a picture of someone who’s happier in the memories of Christmases past than they are in the present day.

A sad holiday song can still be a great holiday song.

More Christmas and Holiday Music from Newfoundland & Labrador

Stay tuned for more great Christmas songs from Newfoundland and Labrador.

I'm a big fan of traditional Christmas music, I love to hear a modern rendition of a 300 year old carol but, occasionally, a brand new song comes to my attention and dominates my Christmas listening. Newfoundland and Labrador's musicians have been holding their own in both regards. I’ll be sharing local songs —both old and new— from now until Christmas in my 2022 NL Music Advent Calendar.
