2022 Door County Christmas Market Holiday Playlist from DJ “Wassail” Watkins

Happy Holidays!

Wow!!! I had such a fun time the over last three weekends spinning some vintage Yuletide favorites on vinyl and shellac at the incredible Door County, Wisconsin Christkindlmarkt. Thanks so much to John Nelson, Pat Palmer, Don Bumpus and everyone at the Christmas Market. I’m already looking forward to seeing everyone there next year!

I just created a new holiday playlist on Spotify with highlights from all of my 2022 Christmas Market sets. Below that you’ll find my holiday playlists from the last few years as well. I hope they bring some musical cheer to the season.

Wishing you and yours a joyous holiday. Wassail!

Charles Phoenix Event at Valley Relics Museum

Had a fun afternoon spinning 45s for Charles Phoenix’s Holiday Jubilee book signing at the amazing Valley Relics Museum’s 11th Annual Car Show and Toy Drive. Thanks, Charles and Tommy!

Halloween Gig at the Palladium Plus Lots of Fall News

Happy Halloween! I'm excited to announce I'll be spinning 78s for The Growler's Beach Goth Halloween show at the legendary Hollywood Palladium on Saturday,  November 2. Tickets are still available.

It's been a busy fall so far. I had an absolute blast DJ-ing at Soap Plant / Wacko at the launch party for Charles Phoenix'  awesome new book, Holiday Jubilee.  I played a mix of vintage styles at a fun private art opening and got out the 1920s & 30s shellac for the Heritage Square Museum's 50th anniversary party. The museum is a Los Angeles treasure and they have Halloween tours coming up, so be sure to visit.

You can see photos from recent events below!
