Each member of the December People has injected their own flavor into the Rattle & Humbug mix, creating holiday music unlike any other. They've taken classic Christmas carols and made them accessible and enjoyable for listeners of all ages. Their contemporary take on each song sheds a whole new light on both the classic rock songs that influenced the music and timeless Christmas carol lyrics. Each song is familiar and yet brand new.

The December People will be hitting the road this holiday season to bring their flavor of holiday cheer to a town near you.
