Logan Mize and Jill Martin: “Wrapped”

By: Jack Anderson

In the small riverside town of Clearwater, Kansas, claims to fame are few and far between. Now that’s not a slight on Clearwater; I’m well aware that we can’t all reside someplace with a prestigious nickname like “The Live Music Capital of the World”. But aside from adjacency to the historic Chisholm Trail and producing a couple title-winning supermodels (plus a radiation roboticist), chances are you’d only know Clearwater through rising country star Logan Mize.

Since sharing his eponymous debut in 2009, Mize has spent the past dozen-plus years rounding out an incredibly-accessible style with a rich, ever-growing discography. That also means Mize has stepped up his live game quite a bit as well; he’s not only toured alongside industry heavyweights like Eric Church, Leeann Rimes, and Blake Shelton, but just made his second stage appearance at the iconic Grand Ole Opry two weeks back as well.

But the holidays are all about hugging your loved ones around the hearth, right? Well, hot off the success of their 2021 concept collaboration Welcome to PrairievilleJill Martin joined her husband in-studio once again for Merry Christmas from Logan Mize‘s centerpiece. Like a big box from Santa that everyone wants to tear open, “Wrapped” and its accompanying music video are far from the white elephant of Merry Christmas. Instead “Wrapped” is the perfect excuse to fill your glass with something warm, unwind, and make the most of mistletoe with your respective Mr. or Mrs. Claus.

David Quinn: “Long Time Gone”

Nourishing, gritty, wood-smoked, and road-worn are all words that have been appropriately (and lovingly) used to describe the Americana songwriting of Illinois’s David Quinn. The upcoming album Down & Dirty was written purely for the joy of the game, and boy does it show. Quinn sticks to his compelling and illustrative storytelling with licks and […]

Next of Kin: “Dimestore Jesus”

Austin alt-country sweetheart’s Next of Kin are back with their first new song (and dare I say, bona fide bop) since the release of last year’s Homemaker EP. “Dimestore Jesus” starts fully blossomed with their signature harmonies for a “beautifully honest track about carrying the burden of the savior complex: the tendency to pour everything […]
