The Storm Windows Release Christmas Single 'Santa Goes to Space' with Universal Message

The Storm Windows today release their new Christmas single and YouTube video, 'Santa Goes to Space,' featuring a universal message about the power of Christmas. The trio of brothers Rob Mathews on guitar and vocals and Don Mathews on upright bass and vocals, along with drummer Erik Anderson, perform the song in a ballad style reminiscent of John Prine and other folk heroes. The track follows Santa and Rudolph on a space adventure on Christmas night to spread the spirit of Christmas throughout the 'Whole Wide Universe.'

Fans can watch the official video for 'Santa Goes to Space' on YouTube and listen to the single on Soundcloud. The band, known for their live performances that Spin Magazine called the 'Folk Ramones,' is celebrating the release with shows in Vermont. They will perform at The Stone Corral in Richmond on October 31 and at Tank Studio in Burlington on November 1, with tickets for the early 6:00 pm show available at https://sevendaystickets.ticketsauce.com/e/trs-live-the-storm-windows-early-show.

The single follows the band's recent summer release of the studio EP 'More Lucky,' a set of 2025 summer anthems conveying hope and the promise of the road. The Storm Windows, who take their name from a John Prine song title, are described by critics as playing 'New Americana – a blend of folk, rock and even jazz laced sonics.' Their music reflects their veteran status as musicians who have weathered storms but continue to perform and share their stories through song.

The release of 'Santa Goes to Space' adds a festive, imaginative twist to the Christmas music genre, emphasizing the universal appeal of holiday spirit. By blending traditional folk elements with a whimsical narrative of Santa's cosmic journey, the band aims to reach a broad audience during the holiday season. This approach aligns with their previous work, which often combines heartfelt messages with musical versatility, making their new single a potential addition to holiday playlists for fans of Americana and folk music.
