You wouldn’t expect Burlington musicians Gregory Douglass, Monique Citro or Joshua Glass to line up at Sears for their holiday band photos. And they didn’t. They just pretended to. 

“While we didn’t have any ugly Christmas sweaters to seal the deal, we did the best we could with what we had to work with,” writes Douglass in a recent e-newsletter.

Still, you can do a lot with matching sweaters and ties. Not to mention ironic, vapid expressions.

But never mind the awkward band photos; if you’re on Douglass’ mailing list, you can also get a free monthly download. This month, it’s the classic “O Holy Night” from his 2010 release Merry

Happy holidays!
