The Light Connected is a contemporary Holiday compilation featuring originals and covers from genres country to rock. Austin's well known Bob Schneider contributes a Pogues cover. Much loved Texas outlaw country band Eleven Hundred Springs does a surprising Billy Squier cover. Other acts include People on Vacation (the new project from Bowling for Soup front man Jaret Reddick) and former State of Texas Musician of the Year, Sara Hickman.
