We were sitting around, wondering what the UMC audience might enjoy waking up to on Christmas morning. After careful consideration, we think we’ve nailed it…
You want 20 tracks of holiday fire to play the whole day through!
Listen to UMC20: Holiday Edition
You may have heard that Nashville-based songwriter Jess Nolan will deliver a special Live from the 615 performance this Friday, December 18 at 6 p.m. CT. If you hadn’t heard that yet… well, now you have!
It’s perfect timing, considering Nolan just released not just one, but two singles last Friday.
Hear ‘A Little Light / Change’
It’s pretty odd to think that we’re coming to the tail end of 2020. For one thing, things have actually picked up here considerably in UMC Land in December, with more live streams and all sorts of other fun on our plates. Imagine that — a December that actually gets busier as it goes.

Hear the Single
Montreal-based songwriter Loryn Taggart has made quite a name for herself north of the border. After leaving home at age 16 to pursue music full-time in Toronto, Taggart has had the good fortune of touring the country, opening for the likes of prominent Canadian folk artist Donovan Woods, and scoring several award nominations along the way.
Hear Wednesday’s Daily Spinn
As we learned from his single, “Eyes to the Sky,” Walter DeBarr knows a thing or two about perseverance. However, he also knows that no man can go on this journey alone.
Hear Tuesday’s Daily Spinn
Last week, I took a virtual trip to Toronto, ON to attend the listening party for Holly Clausius’ newest EP, Sunflower. Many of her collaborators were present –including Kyle Gamble, Olivia Guselle, Alex Purcell, and a number of fans (myself included) — to hear an EP packed with brilliantly-told stories.
Check it Out!
I’m back! I took last week to disconnect and camp across the Midwest (largely away from people, as is customary in 2020).
With that, let’s get into a Daily Spinn that veers briefly away from the “indie” world, and features one of my personal favorite acts.
