Monday Moods: “Holiday Treats”

New seasonal classics and alternative takes on old favorites.

If you’ve been tuning in to Monday Moods for the past few years, you know our bread and butter is featuring the best new music from up-and-coming California artists, but around this time of year we like to switch things up and drop a little holiday magic into your stocking.

Merry + Bright is a special playlist featuring fresh takes on tried and true holiday favorites, as well as new songs specially made for the season. These aren’t just California artists—though you’ll notice the West Coast bias—but we’re sure you’re gonna enjoy adding these to your yuletide rotation.
You can check the full Merry + Bright playlist here, and stay tuned for more great new music from Golden State artists as we close out 2021.
