Derek Close Music Review and Giveaway

I am so excited to be able to introduce you all to Derek Close. Derek is a very promising and talented bassist who records his own music. His music puts a rock and roll spin on some of your favorite Christmas melodies. You can check out Derek's Facebook page here.

I received mp3s of two of his instrumental songs to review: A Little Jingle Jam and 3 Groovin' Kings. These songs have a great vibe and combine the best of Christmas tunes with a little bit of edge. These would be great songs to play at a holiday party! Each song has is unique and showcases his talent impeccably. Even my husband, who generally isn't all that into traditional Christmas music, started grooving when he heard these tunes.

AND Derek has generously provided the 2 mp3s mentioned above and their corresponding artwork for a giveaway to one lucky reader! Trust me, 30 seconds into the song and you will be in love!
