The seasoned punk rock veteran turned alt-country connoisseur took a wack at a Holiday original and plays a duo show with Dore Collier next Friday at Hole in the Wall.
Local Austin favorite Jean Caffeine has just released a brand-new single, Another Crying Christmas, just in time for the holiday season. This marks Caffeine’s first-ever holiday single, and it does not disappoint. If you’re familiar with her discography, you know she doesn’t shy away from tackling the tough, often uncomfortable realities we face. With her recent singles Mammogram and I Don’t Want to Kill You Anymore, it was clear that Jean wouldn’t hold back from addressing the darker side of the holidays in this new release.
The lyrics of Another Crying Christmas capture the unspoken struggles of the season, speaking directly to those who feel the weight of the holidays’ less-than-joyful aspects. With its haunting melody and evocative instrumentation, it’s clear that Caffeine is drawing from personal experience. The song’s harmonies blend seamlessly, offering an honest portrayal of the emotional realities that the holiday season brings for many.
Like what you hear? Want to celebrate surviving the holidays with your family? Jean Caffeine has the perfect opportunity for you. Catch her live next Friday, December 27th, at Hole in the Wall, where she’ll be performing alongside Dore Collier. Don’t miss the chance to hear Another Crying Christmas live—while the wounds from the holidays are still fresh.
