Glenn Simmons: Christmastime
Glenn Simmons is part of an impressive musical legacy. As part of the Wonderful Grand Band and co-founder of the Fables he’s had his hand in some of Newfoundland and Labrador’s best known songs.
In 2010 he released a solo album called Sweet Vanilla. He followed that up with a holiday single called Christmastime.
It’s a smooth rock track that describes some of the simple pleasures of the holiday season.
It’s got a cool, FM-radio kinda vibe that makes it a fun addition to my Christmas playlists.
Check it out.
Also check out Simmons rendition of Ron Hynes ‘Picture of Dorian Grey’ from the new Hynes’ tribute album Sonny Don’t Go Away.
More Christmas and Holiday Music from Newfoundland & Labrador
Stay tuned for more great Christmas songs from Newfoundland and Labrador.
I'm a big fan of traditional Christmas music, I love to hear a modern rendition of a 300 year old carol but, occasionally, a brand new song comes to my attention and dominates my Christmas listening. Newfoundland and Labrador's musicians have been holding their own in both regards. I’ll be sharing local songs —both old and new— from now until Christmas in my 2023 NL Music Advent Calendar.
