FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Austin-based recording artist Kanude releases soon-to-be evergreen holiday single.

“Kanude comes through with a groovy celebration of what Christmas could be! Best Christmas Ever!” exclaims ex-Asleep at the Wheel singer and guitarist Elizabeth McQueen, now a DJ at the hub of Austin tastemaking music programming KUTX, 98.9FM.  The single was written in December 2012 and inspired by the proposed end of the Mayan calendar.  “I wanted to one-up John Lennon’s ‘Happy Xmas (War is Over) in terms of social impact… tall order, I know!” says songwriter and bandleader Chris Knudson.  The lyrics incorporate end-of-days imagery about people of all religious beliefs coming together in unity on a journey into space, while reflecting upon the conditions of the world in the present time.
