11)Joanna Marshall "Indiana Snows"

Winter

Christmas time

A season of advent

Frozen and dead

Bitter cold and frigid winds

Icy flakes and pale skies

Standing in the middle of the white

Deep green and dark shadows

Contrasting against the bright white

Evergreen trees

Laden with snow

A reminder of hope and new life

Through the bitter cold

Hope of a Savior

Bringing new life

Hope of everlasting joy

And eternal peace

25)"Snow" by Zach Winters

Paste Magazine calls Zach Winters’ songs “perfect for a hushed afternoon in the season that bears his name.” The new 15-song album, Monarch, is ruminating and warm, with strings and pianos carrying forward Winters’ unique brand of folk.
In 2015, Winters has been on tour throughout the US, musically migrating with his family and playing shows with Josh Garrels, Will Reagan, A Boy & His Kite, and Aaron Strumpel. October will see him traveling to the Southern Hemisphere to join Holly Arrowsmith for shows throughout Australia & New Zealand. He has had the honor to sing for Syrian refugees, laboring mothers, orphans in Mexico, and his friends, neighbors and family. He & his family reside on the Great Plains.  Check out his music at http://zachwinters.bandcamp.com
