Elle Townley Wraps The Season In Retro Country Cheer With Her New Video For “Perfect Christmas”
Texas singer-songwriter and recording artist Elle Townley unveiled her festive new music video on YouTube on November 21 for her swanky retro country original, “Perfect Christmas”. The song recalls past holidays tinged with loneliness, but flips the script as Elle is determined to make every moment count, surrounded by the friends and family she loves.
“My wish is that this song brings hope to anyone who feels lonely during the holidays,” said Townley. “It’s a reminder that even when things may feel dark, we can still find light and create our own joy. I was thrilled to include some of my family and friends in the new music video, which I think captures the essence of the song’s message perfectly!”
Townley co-wrote “Perfect Christmas” with veteran songwriter and music publisher Steven McClintock (Juice Newton, Victoria Shaw, The Nelsons), who also co-produced the song with Kevin Fisher. Producers Zach Walther and Matt Briggs were also part of the team, laying the tracks down at Beagle’s Nest Studio in New Braunfels, Texas.
Townley also recently won Young Artist of the Year at the 2025 Texas Country Music Association Awards, an award she had been previously nominated for twice in both 2022 and 2024.
Perfect Christmas Texas Shows:
To celebrate the release of “Perfect Christmas” and the holiday season, Townley will perform a series of Christmas themed shows throughout the month of December, kicking off by headlining her hometown holiday festival on December 05, Georgetown’s 44th Annual Christmas Stroll.
DEC 05 – Georgetown’s 44th Annual Christmas Stroll / Georgetown, Texas
DEC 12 – Purely Provisions / Round Rock, Texas
DEC 13 – Fire Oak Distillery / Liberty Hill, Texas
DEC 19 – Six Strings Guitar & Lounge / Georgetown, Texas

Tower Of Power Brings A Joyful Homecoming To Yoshis With Their Back To Oakland Residency
Tower of Power will open 2026 with a four week twelve show residency at Yoshis, running from January 16 to February 7. The band returns to a venue that has been part of their history for decades and the hometown energy around the shows continues to grow.

Marc Zuazua reflects on the meaning of the series and the connection between the band and their city.

Tyler Reese Tritt Lights A New Country Spark With Her Debut EP ‘Wild at Heart’
Rising country artist Tyler Reese Tritt has released her debut EP, Wild at Heart, available now. The five-track collection showcases Tritt’s dynamic artistry, blending Southern grit, emotional vulnerability, and powerhouse vocals into her most compelling work to date.
Produced by Matt McClure, with the exception of the standout ballad “You Lost Me”, Wild at Heart marks a defining moment in Tritt’s musical journey. The Georgia-born singer-songwriter and daughter of country icon Travis Tritt first stepped into the spotlight at 14 with their duet “Sometimes Love Just Ain’t Enough.” Since then, she has carved out her own artistic identity with singles like “Porch Light” and “Texas Hold Him,” earning praise for her magnetic stage presence and genre-blending style. Tritt’s magnetic stage presence and genre-blending style have earned her slots opening for acts such as Sheryl Crow, Runaway June, and more.
The focal track of the EP, “Smoke,” is a smoldering, emotionally charged song written by Nicole Witt, Lee Brice, and Joe Leathers and produced by Matt McClure.
“‘Smoke’ is one of those songs that lingers with you,” Tritt shares. “It captures the moment when love fades into something you can’t quite hold onto anymore – like trying to grab smoke with your hands.”
Wild at Heart also features previously released fan favorites, including the heartbreak ballad “Wasted Drinking,” the dark Southern tale “Blood Money,” and the nostalgic anthem “Another High.” Together, the tracks highlight the EP’s wide emotional range, offering a bold, intimate look at Tritt’s evolution as a songwriter and artist.
Wild at Heart Track List:
1. “You Lost Me” (Andrew Capra, Dallas Caroline, Chris Sligh)
2. “Blood Money” (JC Anderson, Kensie Coppin, Marc Oriet, Lee Ticker)
3. “Another High” (Gabe Broussard, Kensie Coppin, Chancie Neal, Emma Zinck)
4. “Wasted Drinking” (Matt McClure, Brandy Neely, Chris Sligh)
5. “Smoke” (Lee Brice, Joe Leathers, Nicole Witt)
Anja Churchill Delivers A Warm Indie Pop Glow With Her New Take On “La boheme”
nja Churchill continues her active year with a soft and modern version of the classic French song “La boheme.” Her calm vocal style moves through a gentle mix of indie pop and light jazz, with piano and a steady bass line shaping a smooth and unhurried atmosphere.
She created the track with Swedish producers Micke Lyander and Erik Ronstrom, drawing on the current French alt pop scene to build a dreamy and minimal sound. Her writing often reflects real moments from moving from Los Angeles to Gotland to navigating chronic illness and finding grounding in stillness. “La boheme” fits naturally within that world. It feels nostalgic without losing its place in the present.

“Sir Rod Stewart is a rock Icon and we are thrilled to welcome him back to OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino. These are the moments to say – ‘I was there, I remember when I saw a legend’!” says Cathy Price, Vice President of Marketing & Resort Operations, Niagara Casinos.
Legendary British singer-songwriter Sir Rod Stewart, best known for his raspy voice and charismatic style, is one of the best-selling artists of all time. Riding to fame in the late 1960s with The Jeff Beck Group and Faces, he went on to build a remarkable solo career with hits like “Maggie May”, “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy?” and “Forever Young”. The times may have changed, but Stewart’s appeal hasn’t – with his 28th studio album, 2013’s Time, the raspy crooner once again topped the UK Albums Chart – the first time he’d done so since the release of his Greatest Hits Volume 1 in 1979. Over his decades long career, he’s sold more than 250 million records, earned an induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame twice, and continues to captivate audiences worldwide with his timeless sound and electrifying live performances.
