This year, we wanted to create something a little different; something warmer, more intimate, and rooted in the friendships and musicianship that have shaped so much of Josh and Krista’s lives. So we gathered a few of their closest North Texas musician friends in the living room, set up the mics and cameras, and recorded a tiny-desk–style Christmas concert just for you.

Featuring live jazz performances of Christmas classics: Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, Winter Wonderland, This Christmas, and more. This episode blends the magic of local artistry with the comfort of being in the room with people who genuinely love playing together.

You’ll hear stories from years of gigs, hilarious behind-the-scenes memories, and the kind of chemistry that only exists between friends who’ve shared a stage more times than they can count.

This isn’t a polished studio album.
It’s something better: real music, real friends, real Christmas.

If you love Christmas music, live jazz, or discovering incredible local talent, this episode is your new holiday tradition.
