Our Jingle Punks Artist Community is in the Holiday spirit and have some new music to prove it! We’ve recently received music from Emily Zuzik who’s version of “Deck the Halls” (produced by Charles Newman of MotherWest) was licensed by TLC for their holiday promos and is on a holiday compilation called “Feliz Christmas” that is available on iTunes.
We also received a music video from The Great White Caps. All they want for Christmas is a LOT of “Holiday spirits” and a party that doesn’t end!
And last but not least, Tru Statement Ent. shows us what happens when “Santa Goes Cray“! We hope you enjoy and we wish you all Happy Holidays!

Here’s it is:
Drawing from the likes of Feist, Broken Social Scene, and Iron & Wine, Sarah Aument is a folk singer-songwriter whose work is powerfully moving, raw with sincerity, and beautifully straight-forward. Emotions easily shine through Aument’s sparse and tender songs as her heart-felt narratives quickly grow from soft-spoken, introspective musings into loud, robust rock frenzies.
Now check out the video below. Enjoy!
We’re proud to announce that our own Hipster Orchestra released not one but two albums yesterday! The groups debut “Hipster Dinner Party Vol. 1” includes covers of The Black Keys, Vampire Weekend, MGMT and The Strokes. The second album they released is a tribute to the band who inspired Hipster culture as we know it, Nirvana. The album titled “The Nirvana Sessions” is a part of the 20th Anniversary of the release of Nirvana’s legendary album “Nevermind”. Both albums can be found on iTunes and Amazon.com as well as through the Hipsters official website. Be sure to check out the Hipsters latest videos for “Lithium” and “Smells Like Teen Spirit” also.

The turnout was great and included both industry professionals and aspiring musicians. Jingle Punks and RightsFlow were co-sponsors of the event and representatives from each company, including our own Artist Community Manager, EJ Dortch, spoke about what it is that their company does and how it benefits indie musicians. The drinks were also flowing, thanks to our liquor sponsor TyKu, and helped keep the atmosphere at the event fun and festive. Check out the video recap below and we hope to see you at the next one!
