Oh, the holidays. Like mugs of eggnog with a fine layer of nutmeg on top, you either love them or hate them! Me? I happen to love any time of year that involves sleigh bells, mistletoe and wearing knit sweaters with reindeer on them. Hit me with your best shot Santa, I’m ready!
 
This week’s new releases from the Cavendish, Poke, Primrose and Mediatracks music libraries are bound to get you in a festive mood. With snow already falling on the East Coast and parts of the South, it feels like we’re there already. And unlike Mother Nature, at least I waited until after Halloween!

These larger-than-life toe tappin’ good time holiday tracks will give you the uncontrollable urge to sing along. POKE014 Christmas Crackers is a 3-CD series filled with infectious Winter cheer. It’s OK to be that person at the holiday party singing loudly and donning a Santa hat while having a few too many trips to the punch bowl, we won’t tell.

Rescue Records Artist Of The Week: Paula McMath
 
Canada has given us many great things – awesome hockey players, saying “eh” at the end of sentences and Paula McMath! Her diverse brand of songwriting started at a young age from a steady diet of Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen while throwing in some Detroit Rock, Joni Mitchell and Patty Griffin for good measure. Her songs steeped in sincere honesty coupled with her ability to rock makes her a seasoned act with many different uses!

Library Of The Week: Gothic Storm Trailers
 

 
I don’t know about you, but I love watching the trailers before the movie just as much as the featured presentation! Movie trailers with their seat-rumbling explosive soundtracks are enough to make you want to stay for a double feature. Gothic Storm Trailers, one of the newest additions to the 5 Alarm family, adds just the excitment and intrigue to drive any movie into your “must-see” list. With epic motifs, huge orchestras and choirs fueled by thunderous percussion and edgy guitars, this is one powerhouse music library to be reckoned with! Stay tuned for much more from this growing catalog!
