A Very Murray Kitschmas

by Murray Kitschmas

supported by

Luke Zwanziger A veritable smorgasbord of holiday songs from classic, to americana, to punk, with a healthy dose of tounge-in-cheekyness as well as some earnestly modern Christmas songs. Favorite track: Please Stop Calling on Christmas.

Jonathan Bucca This is the only Christmas album I have ever bought because it is the only one that has been worth a Bucca purchase (sorry Mariah lol). Favorite track: Please Stop Calling on Christmas.

mborden This is a fantastically fun Christmas album to shake up the normal yuletide rotation. Favorite track: The New Mistletoe.

about

Whether you've been naughty or nice this year, Murray Kitschmas has a gift for you! (Although I'd sure appreciate it if you paid me for it, tee-hee) Of all my years involved in musical projects, solo or in bands, I think this is the first proper album I've ever put out. Pretty exciting! Here you will find an undeniably, maddeningly catchy collection of holiday-themed songs I've penned over the last few years with close friends and fellow musicians who've turned into close friends. Blurring the lines between funny and sad, campy and credible, holiday banger and everyday jam, the subject matter on "A Very Murray Kitschmas" ranges from fairly outlandish to instantly relatable, musing over past experiences, predicaments, anxieties, and feelings around the holidays that I hope will resonate with just about anybody. I hope it's as fun for you as it has been for me, because I have no intentions of stopping. Share with your friends, family, and loved ones near and far. Stay healthy. Stay safe. Stay merry. Stay Murray.

XOXOXmas,

Murray Kitschmas
