Listen: Craig Gerdes "Christmas Eve at Our House"

Craig Gerdes gets you in the holiday spirit with his new single "Christmas Eve At Our House." The upbeat, boot-tappin' country Christmas number finds Gerdes weaving some dysfunction - whiskey, cigarettes, and fightin', - into an autobiographical tale of a holiday family gathering. Led by pedal steel, bouncy bass, and plenty of guitar licks, "Christmas At Our House" is a humorous holiday keeper.

Gerdes' forthcoming record, Smokin', Drinkin' & Gamblin'  is out February 16 and features production work and contributions from Jim Vest (Johnny Paycheck, Willie Nelson, David Allan Coe), as well as pedal steel from Robby Turner (Waylon Jennings, Chris Stapleton). Smokin' Drinkin' & Gamblin' is full of outlaw-country rug cutters and ballads about strong heads and weak hearts. Fueled by nostalgia, Gerdes' songwriting talent turns old habits into dependable crutches, nursing the phantom pain of distant love. The nine-track album is full old-school four-to-the-floor honky tonk that calls to mind country legends like George Strait, Waylon Jennings, and Willie Nelson. For more information, visit HERE.
