Kirtland Records is putting out a holiday CD from many members of its musical stable. “The Light Connected” is a contemporary compilation of both Holiday classics and originals. Austin’s well-known Bob Schneider contributes a Pogues cover while much loved Texas country band Eleven Hundred Springs does a surprising Billy Squier cover. Other notable acts include former State of Texas Musician of the Year, Sara Hickman and People on Vacation, the new project from Bowling for Soup front man Jaret Reddick. The CD costs $12 and be purchased on their online store, http://www.kirtlandrecords.com/store.htm.
