"Merry Christmas, I Guess" Out Now! Listen Via Rolling Stone

My new single, "Merry Christmas, I Guess," is officially out everywhere now! Rolling Stone says it “nails the feeling” of the holidays this year and calls it a “melancholy indie-folk number,” while American Songwriter describes it as “tender” and “insightful,” and Spotify is featuring it on the New Music Holiday playlist. You can stream or download it on the service of your choice here, or watch the video below!

Surprised I wrote a holiday song? Me too! To be honest, I've never been a huge holiday music guy, but this year more than ever, the standards just didn't seem like they'd cut it. Most of us won't be home for Christmas, and it's tough to be holly jolly when you're quarantining far away from everyone you love. So I wrote "Merry Christmas, I Guess" for all the folks who will be spending this holiday season on their own. Perhaps you're a frontline worker, perhaps you're immunocompromised, perhaps you've lost a friend or family member, or perhaps you're just being responsible and hunkering down at home. Whatever the case, it's okay if everything doesn't feel warm and fuzzy this December. Just remember that even if you're on your own for the holidays, you're not alone, because we're all in this together.
