Thanks to Bluegrass Unlimited for featuring the new Authentic Unlimited Band 'Christmas Time Is Here' record!!

Dive into the holiday spirit with our unique take on classic Christmas tunes. From the familiar warmth of "Let It Snow" to the jazzy twists in "Christmas Comes but Once a Year," our album brings a fresh, old-timey charm to your festive celebrations.

"Most of the song choices here are very familiar... But the results are surprisingly fresh and dazzling in a mellow and old-timey way. The moving title tune, the swingy rendition of “Let It Snow,” the galloping “Sleigh Ride” and the tender “There’s a New Kid in Town” also possess a sort of nostalgic Norman Rockwell glow."
