To promote the spirit of the holidays and The Singing Saw at Christmastime, Julian, his dog Rudolph and his Singing Saw friend Badger set out on a caroling tour last fall. Julian says, “Caroling last year was one of the most special experiences I’ve ever known…following a path that wound through so many houses (over 100!), in so many neighborhoods in each town (and so many towns!), and being welcomed so kindly and so warmly into all of those homes. I’m so glad that we’re all still here, and that the Universe has arranged for this all to happen again. I can hardly wait.”

The Singing Saw at Christmastime is available on CD, LP, and digital download. Stream the whole album in the Merge store, visit the Merge blog to watch a video of Julian and the Singing Saw performing “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town,” and click to download a brand-new Singing Saw holiday classic rendition of “White Christmas.”
