Ho ho ho! Welcome back to our second collection of holiday tunes for you.

Last week, we presented you with some of our fair state's more laidback holiday fair. But this week, instead of resting, we bring some tunes that are, at least, a little more feisty than the last batch. You have to wait until next week to get some with a little bite.

But these should cheer up any holiday doldrums you may have.

So Happy Holidays and enjoy!

JAZZMAN JOE VIDEOS: Home for the Holidays with Max Wellman and Tina Findlay Haase at The Bridge in Johnston on December 20, 2015

For this installment, we present a holiday show featuring Max Wellman and Tina Findlay Haase.

"Whether it is at Chicago’s stunning Drake Hotel or the historic Hoyt Sherman Place Theater, vocalist Max Wellman is enticing music lovers throughout the region. With a sound evoking the likes of Sinatra & Connick, Wellman’s recordings & performances promise that the Great American Songbook is alive & well for a new generation of listeners.

When Wellman teams up with his jazz trio or his Big Band, it’s an opportunity to witness his talent on a grand scale. Concerts like his annual ‘Home for the Holidays’ have become a cherished treasure throughout the region."
- from Max Wellman's Facebook page

"Tina Haase Findlay and Brandon Findlay are bella soul. As a modular group, the duo expands with members of their diverse musical family, including international award-winning bassist Scot Sutherland and reknowned artist-educator Dr. Damani Phillips, among more than two dozen local and regional artists who regularly join on stage and in studio.

"As a duo, trio, quintet, or sextet, bella soul is built from a loving devotion to the kaleidoscope of sounds and styles that have naturally raised from the American deltas and heartlands they call home. And as they prepare a new collection of original work, Genesis of the Exodus, the Findlay's and their family are enjoying the blessings of lives filled with great friends, great art, and great love."
- from the Diva and the Deacons Facebook page

IOWA MUSIC SHOWCASE PODCAST - Episode 56: Happy Hawkeye Holidays 2017, Part 1 of 3: Nestor

Ho ho ho! Once again it's time for Santa OlderMusicGeek to send away that crazy Evil Doctor OlderMusicGeek, and usher in the Holiday Season - with a capital H and S!

As we've done on the two previous years, the first episode brings the quieter and mellower Holiday tunes, mostly folk and acoustic works, but a couple of surprises in there, a Christmas tune from metal guitarist Ivan Dimitrienko and a rousing version of "Jolly Old St Nicholas" from The Wire Frames!

So grab yourself some hot cocoa, Coca-Cola, or eggnog, depending how you like to celebrate the holidays, relax, and get into the holiday spirit with some Iowa music.

Episode 39: Happy Hawkeye Holidays 2016, Part 2 of 2 - The Cola Edition

Welcome back to the second of this year's holiday episodes.

This episode, we bring the sugary goodness of our more poppier Christmas tunes (and one folky Solstice tune).

Though this is definitely poppier than last week's, it's not really pop. We have everything from an orchestra doing jazz to blues to folk to electronic dance music to ska.

So eat some corn with your holiday music and listen to these Iowan artist show the spirit of the season!

Episode 38: Happy Hawkeye Holidays 2016, Part 1 of 3 - The Milk Edition

Well, once again we present you with Holiday tunes from and by Iowans.

And like last year, the first episode features more traditional tunes. The second will feature poppier far. And the last one more untraditional and risque stuff.

Although these songs tend to be mellow and laid back, we still have quite the variety with a world flute player, a choir from a Christian college, a gospel singer, a female folk singer, a female folk duo, and a recent Iowa Jazz Hall of Fame inductee!

So get your eggnog going, get a warm fire started, light up the tree, then sit back, relax, and enjoy holiday tunes as only Iowa can bring them to you!

Well, the game plan was to put out the first of my holiday podcasts, which will feature everything from classical and folk to metal and punk, But Thanksgiving and a bug that's been circulating my workplace put a monkey wrench in that plan.

So that will have to wait a week, and instead you get a Spotify, SoundCloud, and YouTube playlist of Holiday music made by Iowans.

Also, Locusic has a station of local holiday music too! - http://www.locusic.com/

If you know of any others, please tell me at iowamusicshowcase@gmail.com and I will add them to the playlist! Happy holidays, everyone!

This is the last of our Christmas episodes. In this one, we feature tunes more of an adult nature, as well as some with a few naughty words.

So if you're a sensitive soul, or around sensitive souls, you might want to play this episode later.

Otherwise, you're in for a fun treat!

Episode 22: Happy Hawkeye Holidays 2015, The Snow Edition

On this second episode of Christmas tunes, we steer away from the more traditional tunes, and feature more originals. And though still in the holiday tradition, these songs have a little more bite than the songs from the previous episode.

So grab your eggnog, sit back - or dance - and have yourself a corny Christmas with Iowa grown holiday tunes!
