On our way to Baltimore for Christmas!!

Rockabilly Jingle Bells

It's that time of year again where you can shake up your holiday mixtape with our Rockabilly Jingle Bells!

If you are a member of our Golden Biscuit Fan Club, you'll be getting a downloadable version of this song later in the week! If you aren't, then we'd be tickled for you to join, and you'll have this song in your pocket for next year. If you join via the fan club website, Patreon, you will have access to all of our past posts including 8 more downloadable songs! That's nearly a whole album of J&B songs! If you join via email, you'll get all of the songs going forward for one year. Jingle away!!!

Back to the future with my "new" eMate 300!

What did you get for Christmas or Hanukkah this year? In true "back to the future" fashion Dad & Mom got me a 1997 Apple eMate 300 for Christmas this year! It's the perfect distraction free typewriter-like computer. It can't do email and it's never heard of Google, Twitter, or Facebook. It's battery life is WAY longer than any tablet or laptop, so I can write thousands and thousands of words in the desert without having to go down to the diner on I-10 and ruin my health with French fries in order to use their internet :) And, possibly best of all, my vegan inspiration, Alicia Silverstone, used one when she played Batgirl. So late nineties cutting edge -- I am thrilled to pieces! Time to go back to rehearsal, booking, publicity, correspondence, and travel planning tomorrow, but, for the rest of today, I am going back to the future!

Christmas in North Carolina

Hankins family Christmas -- apple pie with my hand cut pastry stars, the quilt I made for my Dad (Greg), making pie with Mom (Marcella), a new midi keyboard for Billy, and getting to see my lovely sister, Sarah, for the first time in a year! 

Over the river....

Headed to Baltimore! Merry Merry to all :)

A Rockabilly Jingle Bells

from Jeni & Billy! 

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and a Bright New Year

to All of Our Wonderful Friends!!!

  

To celebrate the season, Billy and I dug out this old recording of Jingle Bells we made just after we moved into our new house in East Nashville back in 2011. We can't remember why we were inclined to noodle around with this holiday favorite, but here it is fresh from the dusty trunk of unreleased Jeni & Billy musical doodles.

Thank you for a wonderful year of touring and music-making - our best yet! We are ever so grateful to so many of you for being bright stars along our journey. 

  

We send you love and hugs.

  

Peace and happiness, 

  

Jeni & Billy too

Arizona sunset makes Narcie's poinsettia

Short report from Pecos, Texas: This Arizona sunset in December reminded me of the pink poinsettias my great grandmother, Narcie, favored. Christmas songs in Spanish completed the circle perfectly.
