Hey there my Festivus celebrating friends!
As hard as it is to believe, there are people out there still having holiday parties that are not Festivus related. I know! But where there’s a stage, The Conleys will play. And following that rule, Nick and I played a two night corporate business party event! The second night was last night. It wasn’t an official Conley set, but we were joined by some wonderful people: Julie Hill on vocals, shakers, and melodica, and Brian Hardink on piano and vocals. Together the 4 of us put together a set of festive holiday fun:
1. Sweet Child of Mine (nothing says Christmas like some GnR)2. Lee Shore (CSNY is holiday isn’t it?)3. Snow in Southern California (sad xmas song penned by a Conley or two)4. Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas (4 part harmony anyone?)5. We Didn’t Start the Fire (fun, topical refinery based lyrics to follow)
We all had a killer time, and I’m pretty sure everyone has a few tricks up their sleeve if we get asked to do a third year in a row. Here are the altered lyrics for your enjoyment. Don’t ask me what they all mean, it’s an acronym jumble to me 🙂

OH!!! Our debut album Folk Noir will be available for pre-order with any Conley you can find. They will be delivered to my house on the 24th of December and on that day we Conleys will personalize, sign, wrap and hand deliver your pre-ordered copy to your house. Sounds like a deal right? They are the perfect stocking stuffer. Pre-order your 10 copies soon! (I know you want 10, don’t even lie). <3 S
