Harriet Reynolds Brings Global Cheer with \ Austin-based singer songwriter Harriet Reynolds channels the universal joy of the holiday season in her latest release "Got the Holiday Spirit".

Co-written with NYC artist Li Mann, this festive song marries Harriet’s signature Americana influences with a broader appeal. With bells chiming, winter winds swirling, and an almost choral backing of lively vocals, the song exudes a warmth and energy that feels personal and which will resonate with a global audience.

Reynolds, who is a seasoned performer with over two decades of coast-to-coast tours, has graced iconic stages such as the Bluebird Café in Nashville and the Red Ants Pants Music Festival in Montana.

Her music transcends genres, as it brings together elements of folk, pop, jazz, and cabaret to deliver music straight from the heart.

As an artist for Breedlove Guitars, Harriet is well known for her ability to connect with audiences, whether through her live performances, her weekly Harriet’s Happy Hour on Facebook, or her catalog of four critically acclaimed albums.

In "Got the Holiday Spirit", Reynolds explores the deeper meaning of the season, crafting lyrics that celebrate connection, kindness, and hope. Lines like, “You know the love of the holiday spirit is a beacon in the night,” capture her belief in the transformative power of joy and community, while playful “la la” sections, penned by Mann, invite singalongs that transcend language and culture.

The rich production, complete with evocative seasonal sounds, reflects Harriet’s meticulous approach to songwriting. As she notes, the holiday spirit isn’t confined to traditions or weather—it’s a mantra for spreading positivity year-round.

Whether added to playlists or performed around festive gatherings, this track is a celebration of the shared humanity at the heart of the season.
