As the year winds down, I wanted to share a quick holiday hello and a few music updates.

I’m excited to share that my song “Songbird” is continuing to take shape. The backing vocals were added recently, and the harmonies sound rich, fat and magical. I can't wait for y'all to hear it!  I’m planning a spring release, with an earlier listen available on Bandcamp for my VIP Songbird supporters.

If you’re in the mood for holiday music, I also have a Christmas album available on Bandcamp. You can find that ➡️here

The album is also streaming on YouTube as a playlist, along with a few additional holiday performances. To visit the playlist you can go to my Frequency Folk my channel here ➡️Christmas Playlist 

This time of year is naturally a quieter season for me. With shorter days and less light, I’ve been stepping back from live events and allowing space for rest and renewal. I’m currently working on ideas for 2026 and looking ahead with intention.

As we move through the holiday season and toward the return of the light, I’m grateful for everyone who listens, shares, and supports my music.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a gentle close to the year.
See you on the other side of the season.

💜Melissa D
