Great holiday music is more than seasonal memory, and Adrian and Meredith's "Holly Jolly Christmas" sounds like it was written for spirited parties and spontaneous celebration. Drawing on folk rock, swing, and a wide array of musical traditions, the recording captures the unpredictable nature of holiday nights, where sing-alongs and moments of friendship become memories people cherish long after the season has passed.
The line-up offers a real board of instrumental voices, and this includes Adrian Krygowski on the acoustic guitar and vocals, Meredith Krygowski on violin, Ken Francis Wenzel on baritone saxophone, John Kveen on bass guitar, and Benjamin Reiff on drums. Produced by Bronson Tew of Dial Back Sound in Water Valley, Mississippi, the track embodies a performance approach that straddles concert and celebration.
This is in the same spirit as the release, inspired by wild nights, spontaneous singing, and the unexpected turns that make holiday parties memorable. The scope of influences that inform Adrian and Meredith's collaborative sound is not lost in the seasonal setting of "Holly Jolly Christmas." This is an energetic bed for a release that celebrates togetherness and joyful spontaneity, provided by a collection of acoustic instruments such as violin, saxophone, bass, and drums.
